Here are the booking photos of Westland/Hallmark Meat Co., employees, Jose Luis Sanchez and Daniel Navarro. They are both suspects arrested in connection with the animal abuse incident at the slaughterhouse.
They seem like pleasant mustachioed fellows.

however, they were the ones that were caught. Yea there’s probably a lot of shoplifting going on everyday, but it only counts if they get caught@Neurotic1:
@rbb: get a group of 1,000,000,000 Americans to go to Mexico and demand they take care of us, and let us work without paying taxes, and get free school for our children, in English, and I want healthcare too, and I want to have every legal document in my native language, because they can’t make me learn Spanish. See how Mexico likes it…It might actually be a good idea, they probably have more natural resources, they have a warmer climate than a lot of the US, let’s go
damnit why did you have to bring up a valid point?@elijah_dukes_mayonnaise:
Nice. The mere fact that a couple of Hispanics were involved in this situation is enough to spark an immigration debate. I’m pretty sure immigration was not the issue here.
How do you commit animal abuse in a slaughterhouse?
do to them what they did to the cows!
Those guys are class “A” pimps.
Oh STFU with the illegal immigrants, If your in the states and you not a NATIVE AMERICAN you just might be a redneck Illegal yourself.
I stopped eating meat because I saw how the animals were treated and seeing this just confirms I did the right thing for me. However, I do admit I’m feeling high and mighty on my vegetarian chair.
Man, these videos are old news.
Pig farm videos were out a decade ago and the employees were a couple of white guys.
Factory farming is the cancer here.
And you don’t want to know what they were doing to the pigs.
I’m not sure what’s more dreadful, what these Hallmark Meat Co. people did to those cows or Hallmark Cards’ Movies.
I can’t imagine these two men have the best of lives. How can they if they think torturing cows is okay?
Then again I hate the industrial meat companies. Really cruel and dirty work. Until you take your business away or at least cut back your meat intake these companies will never be hit hard enough in the wallet to care about changing anything.
Well, I really didn’t think about the racial makeup until it was pointed on. Saw the names, saw the photos and thought “What ugly hair. Why is he wearing sunglasses in a mug shot?”.
So let’s take the race and “I hate Bush” thoughts and comments out of this. The corporate executives should also be taking a fall. I don’t see this as an isolated thing. Someone knew something. Everyone needs to be questioned and suffer the consequences of their decisions. Work from the top down.
Anyway, this is another argument for co-ops and buying organically from your local small farm if at all possible. If not Coleman’s and Laura’s beef are both wonderful.
Eat more chiken
@BayStateDarren: AHAHAHAH
Wow, check out the soup strainers on these guys!
ahh how cute, its there high school grad pictures!! Way to go guys!!
Find the people that gave them money to work for that long, and I’ll show you the true criminals.
Explain to me why it always requires a few animal huggers and a handycam to expose this stuff every few years? Any workplace where this stuff is happening is not by accident, it’s by DESIGN.
If these two guys weren’t enlisted to do what they did, someone else needing a roof over their family’s heads could be found to do it. People kill all over the world for money, it’s nothing unique to a couple hispanics at a meat plant.
Not to belittle what these guys did – just saying that security and safety seems awfully lax at these plants considering the health impact they have on our citizenry. When does the CEO and the rest of his ilk get arraigned? Railroading a couple low-end workers is laughable bullshit.
@DrGirlfriend: Oh yes it was – immigration of deadly meat into the food supply.
…but harping over the racial makeup of these guys is asinine. Back in the pre-USDA days of Sinclair’s “The Jungle” it was other immigrants (who else would want these shitty jobs). It’s the actions they took – likely on behalf of their corporate beancounter overlords.
