Tough to Tell, Tough to Watch
The California beef recall report was really rough. We put in the warnings to give teachers a heads-up about the graphic images that the report showed. But we couldn't tell the story without them. You need to see the pictures to understand why everyone from the Humane Society to health officials are so concerned – and to have an idea of how far the alleged mistreatment of the animals went.
Will it change your eating habits?

This article made me think about what I eat. Mr. Azuz, thank you for speaking to us today! I really appreciated your insight.
well i dont eat cow so i dont care people can just not eat cows and then this wouldnt b a problem
My Social Studies Teacher lets us watch CNN Student New all the time and the other day we saw the cows being abused that way was inhuman and should of never of happened.
I think this is absolutely gross. It's scarry to think that people have been eating that stuff. I can't believe they didn't get in trouble before now. I won't be eating anything that came from a cow for a while.
This has changed some things for me, maybe. In a sense, I may just be blind, or perhaps uncarring, so, if something did change...it either changed for the worse...or it hardly did.
Cows provide food, so the least humans can do is treat them considerately in return. I think it's morally wrong to have them abused in such a way. There are people out there that will do horrible things like this, and there's really nothing we can do about it except whatever it necessary (in this case, firing and whatnot). Not all of us are caring, which was clearly seen in this situation. It really doesn't surprise me that people are acting this way.
No it will not change my eating habits. I have been eating beef since I was a little kid. I am not going to stop now because there MIGHT be some diseases in the meat.
PS Carl, you are the greatest anchor in the history of news. My school even has a Carl Azuz fan club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to think about animal cruelty and I think that it is one of the sickest things you can do. This story was just wrong. The commiters of that abuse should be punished. Besides, if they were trying to get sick cows to stand up and move just so they could kill them and feed them to consumers, thats killing the animal, sickening people with diseases from the sick cows. That is just wrong.
That will totaly change my eating habits!
I saw a much the same thing last June on the computer,since then I dont eat beef or pork,this is sick the person who was proding that poor cow should have the same thing happen to him and then jab him with a fork lift !! I hope this worker and other plus the company get the biggest fine with pictures and names in the papers or on tv.
This thing also goes on with foul,also as I also saw this last year in June
