I have walked the floor of the majority of the meat producers in southern Alberta and I can honestly say that nothing comes close to these practices. I am still in awe and disbelief at the sheer quantities of animals killed but these are done in a, ... I won't same humane or respective way, but efficient manner in which very little trauma is brought upon the animals.

One poultry processor in Lethbridge slaughters and prepares 50000 chickens a day!!
The major Pork processor in Lethbridge is humane in their practices.

I have been inside beef, pork and poultry facilities and the vast majority have a CFIA official on site 24 - 7 looking for any infraction into food safety and poor animal husbandry practices.

However these are the slaughter houses and I rarely visit the "farms" where these animals are raised.
