Kosher Gate! Copyright (c) 2008 Brian Cuban
The Jews are at war. Spies are at work. conspiracy plots abound. Government agencies are storming the gates. The losses are expected. A battle of epic proportions not seen since Joshua blew the walls of Jericho. It is not on the Gaza Strip, but disputed in the small rural town of Postville, Iowa. Postville is the location of the packing plant Agriprocessors kosher meat. It became the site of a battle between the factory owners and some very strange bedfellows on the allegations of misconduct, including violations of child labor laws, provide documentation of illegal residence fake foreign employees of slush funds for illegal workers, inhumane slaughter of animals and even allegations that the plant has been used as a laboratory "meth". The plant has been infiltrated by spies PETA overrun by invading hordes of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, under occupation by "roving Somali insurgents" and is apparently controlled by the DEA. A scenario worthy of a fight lead Tom Hanks.
In May 2008, Immigration and Customs enforcement agents (ICE) raided the Agriprocessors (AG) packing plant arrested 398 illegal aliens. It was the largest such raid in the history of the United States. State and federal officials were also accused of using illegal labor AG child labor. They allege that up to 57 children, aged 14-17 years were employed illegally in Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Pottsville. In addition to all illegal workers, two supervisors factory were eventually arrested and ongoing trials. charges of cruelty to animals have been dogging AG for years. Members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were able to infiltrate the plant and to obtain videos of the conditions surrounding the practice of slaughter of the company. The PETA website has posted the following statement:
"PETA's investigator witnessed blatantly cruel killing methods used in a kosher slaughterhouse AgriProcessors in Postville, Iowa, United States. Cattle, chickens and turkeys suffered prolonged consciousness after the throat cut and being dismembered while fully conscious. Many cases of inhumane slaughter were captured on film. "
The site continues to provide detailed graphics and video. (Mature audience) Have Peta done nothing wrong when they infiltrated the factory and took video documenting cruelty to animals? Whether we like it or not, spies, infiltrators and informants are what makes the wheels of justice turn. Without Tattletale 75 percent of crimes go unnoticed. The allegations of illicit drug use have been thrown into the mix, including allegations that the methamphetamine was manufactured in the factory.
The allegations against Agriprocessors has caused consternation in the Jewish population. The company is founded and owned Jewish. He has close ties with the Jewish community. The allegations have caused the leaders in the Jewish community to question what it means to keep kosher. It lowered the level of confidence that the food on their table is in fact kosher. The review should cover values Agriprocessors. The market for kosher meat is several billion dollars industry in which they hold a substantial market share. A loss of trust in the methods of kosher slaughter and other mandates of Jewish moral and religious dietary practices could have devastating impact the bottom line financial Agriprocessor, its employees and the town of Postville, Iowa. It goes well beyond the Jewish and hit a broken city depends on the plant for its survival. There is also the fundamental laws of the economy dragging the AG. If your target market feels more comfortable in your product, demand goes down and the profits follow. Agriprocessors dispute that the allegations will harm the reputation or business long term.
