Expanded Undercover Investigation Shows Mistreatment of Downer Cows Is Commonplace at Livestock Auctions May 7, 2008 The shocking abuse of "downer" cows occurs not just at slaughter plants but may be an everyday happening at livestock auctions and stockyards around the country—the midpoints between farm and slaughter—as shown in an expanding undercover investigation by The Humane Society of the United States. "Downer" cows are those too frail to stand on their own—dragged and prodded with inhumane handling methods, and increasing the threat of carrying and passing disease. During April and May, HSUS investigators visited auctions in Maryland, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Texas and videotaped downer cows at each stop—animals left to suffer for hours and in one instance overnight.Coats for Cubs: Give furs back to animals

Now it's essential that we keep Congress focused on the issue and ensure they take action.Dear Cali,
***public*** From HSUS.org Proposition 2, The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, is a modest initiative that would give calves, pigs, and chickens in California room to stand up, lie down, turn around, and fully extend their limbs. It's endorsed by The Humane Society of the United States, the California Veterinary Medical Association, the Center for Food Safety, the Consumer Federation of America, and dozens of newspapers from The New York Times to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Here's what Prop 2 will do for the animals and citizens of California: FACT: Prop 2 will eliminate the worst cruelties inflicted on animals living on factory farms.
