The Department of Agriculture recently suspended all operations at the cEntral Valley Meat Company after a video surfaced showing cows being poked, prodded, and even shocked.
Citing the idling of hundreds of workers at the plant, regional economic damage resulting from its closure, and that the alleged violations never compromised the food supply -- the Congressmen asked Secretary Vilsack to re-open the plant under enhanced supervision while an investigation of the plant continues.
There's no word yet from Vilsack's office.
