And you think your case load is staggering?!

10News SanDiego

10News went to the biggest egg ranch in San Diego County. There are 1 million hens, and they are inspected every month by a vet to make sure they are healthy. Mark Brand is a poultry veterinarian and said he finds it difficult to mask his frustration with protesters.
Geez, Mark--even if you worked 16 hr. shifts 7 days a week you'd still have 171 cases an hour. Every hour. For a year. This is pretty much the point at which industrial animal production's wholly self-determined governance of "health and welfare" just becomes laughable. But far be it from us to conclude that Mark's frustrations are the ones that just don't fly.
