Beef Plant Video Spurs Calls for New Protections NEW YORK - Graphic images of animal cruelty and this week's record recall of U.S. beef have spurred fresh demands to expand a ban on killing sick animals for food consumption. "Legislation is in play with the Downed Animal and Food Safety Protection Act. It's time to enact it," said Julie Janovsky of the animal rights group Farm Sanctuary. The proposed legislation, which has been defeated in Congress several times in recent years, would prohibit the slaughter of all "downed" animals, including pigs, sheep, and other livestock.
