Slaughterhouse 2
I don’t know how a local tribe got involved in this slaughterhouse thing except to say that people interested in the idea simply couldn’t find anyone else willing to locate it near them.
What a surprise.
I do think a regional slaughterhouse here in Mendocino County would be a good thing. I’m not surely frankly that locating it on River Road is the best idea. There will be a lot of big trucks coming and going and that road isn’t really built for that.
I can’t believe there isn’t some better ag land available for something like this nearer Highway 101.
And yes, not only do beef ranchers have to ship their beef across many miles to get them USDA-approved slaughtered but I’m told that Jim Lawson has to ship his buffalo all the way to Idaho to get them slaughtered.
And we wonder why local meats are so expensive by the time they reach our stores.
We are, as I write, working on getting a local BSS on our site so that people can talk to each other and have a community wide conversation. But anyone should feel free to raise topics here too.
I am bummed that the governor is vetoing the universal health care bill (SB 840). Those of you who heard my show on KZYX last Thursday may have come away as I did thinking this was a pretty darned good idea. Instead the insurance companies have had their way with us as usual. Arnold’s telling us that we’ll find other ways to cut health care costs and improve health care is just a bold faced lie.
