Subject: [againstslaughter] Cavel Site and Plant Plans

I did a red eyed red eye this morning (something about getting two
hours sleep two nights in a row that is not productive to my
spelling, so bear with me on this post *grin*).

Site Information
Cavel International is on a site a little less than 2 acres, right next to a UPS processing center. Wonder what UPS thinks of all this? Anyone up to letting them know what kind of horror they are facing in the near future? The blueprints call for a plant with NO external holding pens, the trucks back up to a dock and offload into a small area with an overhead catwalk to drive the horses into a pipe fenced area that winds up and down like a check in queue at an airport. At the end of it and visible to the horses is the kill box, the majority of the small plant is dedicated to coolers and processing areas. Lots of mens rooms and only one ladies room. No offices in the new building, they are staying in the original house
on site. The only way this plant could process 35,000 plus horses a year as they claim they will would be if they ran 24/7. There are truck areas mapped out for trucks to get in line, no places for horses to offload until they go through that door. The footings are poured and the fence outside is tall with razor wire on it...tight security.

The surrounding area is a small depression hidden from I 88 and up the road from storage rentals, American Trailor. and UPS. At the corner is the start of a large upscale housing area, but unless they knew or watched the trucks pulling around the corner, it will be a dirty little secret hidden in its corner of the world.  There appears to be two loading ramps on the back of the building, one near the cooler area and the other off the *dirty* processing room. I imagine waste will go out that door. Interestingly there is a stream running through the property not to far from that door.

The plant is set up as a massive, efficient killing machine with everything hidden behind razor wire, tall fences, and concrete
walls. The terror will not be seen or heard from the street.

I am trying to be factual rather than emotional, but the pain is overwhelming.
