CNN report on Hormel Foods supplier
Hi everyone,
Last night, CNN featured a story that included a PETA investigative video of pigs being horrifically abused. This took place at one of the factory Farms that supplies Hormel.
The story is also on CNN.com's home page today. I wanted to give you all the link to check it out, if you didn't see it already.
my hope is that some of you may want to email CNN to let them know that you as a viewer, appreciate stories that expose animal abuse; and encourage them to do more.
I learned from a Humane Society meeting that feedback to the mainstream media is very important.
If you would like to write CNN a short email - scroll to the very very bottom of the page, for the "Contact Us" link...
here is the link:

I had never been on that board before, so i didn't even realize that I could have posted there instead until after the fact. - i did post there after this one.
i'm sorry if it offends you that i posted this in chat.
I tried to delete it from this board, but the site would not allow it.
Hi,
I didn't click on your link cause I'm at work. Is this a very graphic video? I would need to prepare myself for it.
I overheard a coworker talking about a pig abuse video she saw. This is probably it. Anyway, she has denouced pig flesh because of it & was asking another coworker for vegetarian recipes. ;)b That's the coolest, yeah!! The only weird thing is she will still eat cows & chickens, so I'm not sure why she wanted the veggie recipes :-\. Maybe she is replacing the pig dishes (gross) with veggie dishes. That equals a step in the right direction.
I sent an email to cnn.com and cnn tv. A great step on their part.

Did the whole thread get moved over or did I link a post to the thread I was posting in? Guh.
Good story. I couldn't watch the footage. Just reading about it was enough to tear me up. Anyway, I totally sent them and email praising their animal rights coverag and asking for more. And ftr I didn't use the word "totally" in my email ::)
just send them an email too. i couldnt bring myself to watch it either, just skimming over the text is disgusting enough.
thanks for posting this - i agree it is important to let the networks know that the information is appreciated even though it may be against what some of their sponsors believe in.
