On November 30, 2004, The New York Times broke the story of what it called "grisly" animal abuse at the world's largest glatt kosher slaughterhouse, AgriProcessors Inc. The story, based on this disturbing undercover investigation, received wide coverage in the mainstream media and remains the biggest scandal in the kosher meat industry in recent memory. Although this is about pork farmers, and Jews do not eat pork, many pork farmers own other livestock and many of them practice kosher slaughter.
PERTH EAST -- Beleaguered Canadian hog farmers trying to stay afloat were thrown a life raft this week.
The federal government will spend $76 million over the next four years to combat diseases and try to bring stability and profitability back to the sector.
A stubborn range of diseases has driven up hog mortality rates and pushed down farmers' margins and spirits since late 2004.
The funding announcement was made by Perth-Wellington MP Gary Schellenberger at Phil and Eleanor Anwender's farm north of Stratford and in Quebec at the same time by Secretary of State for Agriculture Christian Paradis.
The two provinces account for the bulk of hogs in Canada's $8-billion pork industry.
