Mr. Tamura has worked the store for 30 of them.

...United States, after a six-week long undercover investigation at the Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse in Chino, California. The video, available on YouTube, shows “downers,” crippled cows too sick to even walk, being shoved by forklifts and dragged by chains towards the slaughter floor.
