This really grinds my gears! Why has this taken so long and why we're we being cruel to the animals that are led to slaughter for eating purposes in the first place. Oh, and WHY, is it going to take until 2017 to eliminate cruel practices. What, we can't just decide to to stop being cruel to animals that are part of the food supply on grocery shelves. The bottom line is that meat has been pushed by the USDA as having to be a part of our diets. Nothing could be further from the truth and it's a carefully, cleverly, propagated campaign that the USDA has carried out and made huge profits on. I am glad to see that something is being done, though it's far overdue in my estimation. I say this because so much damage has already been done and it's not like we didn't know about the wrong that was being done. There is no blur here between right and wrong and this has been all about the money. The fact that it's going to take 5 years to implement is a testament to how really sad this situation is.
