a cow in the food chain? They are kept in deplorable conditions, fed diets of foods not natural to their diet, given growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics until they are fat enough to be slaughtered. After butchering the meat, the skins are sent out to factories to be turned into leather. The blood and organs are sent to pharmaceutacal companies to be derived into medicines and vitamins (think iron, b vitamin and glandular medications, such as thyroid) The bones, ligaments, and hooves and cartilage is turned into gelatin (think jello) and the remaining stuff is processed into cat food, dog food, and meat by products, such as deli meat and hotdogs. It seams pretty sad and self serving that humans use animals for so many things that we really don't need, don't you think? Its really just gross how much we rely on animals for our own needs
