401. Oh, I know all about that!

I worked in the fields, and packing houses, in Homestead and Florida City, Fla. for several years. They had the HUGE automatic bean picking machines that looked like this:



They would dump them into dump trucks, then bring them to the packing house to be run through the grading line, then boxed, hydro-cooled and sold. I can't tell you the number of times the lines had to be shut down because of a live snake being on the line... or to clean up the remains of rabbits, quail, fawns and even the occasional gator that got caught in the swath of the harvester. They also had similar machines for corn and potatoes.

I don't think some vegetarians have any clue as to just how many animals are killed or maimed during the harvesting of their precious vegetables!

Peace,
