Attorney general urges Tyson Foods to sell two southern Missouri plants

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:20:37 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey wants Tyson Foods to sell two plants at risk of closing doors in southern Missouri. Bailey directed a letter to Tyson Foods CEO Donnie D.

Tyson announced plans to close both Missouri plants and two others in August, though the exact timetable for that remains unclear.

"These plants are critical to local communities," said Bailey in the letter. "Closure will have ripple effects that will harm more than just the individuals who would lose their factory jobs. How can a restaurant or grocery store in a town of 2,000 people expect to stay open when 1,500 people lose their jobs? What will chicken farmers and grain growers do if the plants they have lon...

“Tiger King” subject Carole Baskin weighs in on big cat hunting in Colorado

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:20:37 GMT

Big cat hunting in Colorado is not for meatI write to shed light on a subject that is often overlooked in discussions about trophy hunting and trapping of mountain lions and bobcats in Colorado — consumption of their meat. Proponents of these activities may argue that the meat is used, but the reality is far from it. Mountain lion and bobcat meat is not inspected by the USDA, posing a potential public health risk. The meat could harbor zoonotic diseases, which can transfer from animals to humans, creating untold health risks.Further, you won’t find mountain lion or bobcat meat on the menu in any restaurant that considers itself part of a civilized society. The very notion evokes a sense of disgust because it’s fundamentally at odds with our ethical and social norms. The primary motivations for hunting these animals are not for food but for sport and profit, often leaving families of these beautiful creatures orphaned and vulnerable.The absence of mountain lion and ...

Elijah McClain is pictured in this undated photograph. (Photo provided by family of Elijah McClain)The pathologist who performed Elijah McClain’s autopsy testified Tuesday that he was unsure if a police neck hold contributed to the Black man’s 2019 death as attorneys for two Denver-area officers on trial for homicide sought to cast doubt about the prosecution’s case.Pathologist Stephen Cina initially ruled in 2019 that McClain’s cause of death was undetermined in a case that along with the killings of George Floyd and others galvanized critics of excessive police force against Black people.But in a revised autopsy report from 2021, Cina said the cause was an overdose of a sedative, ketamine, that was injected by paramedics after the 23-year-old massage therapist was stopped and put in a neck hold while walking home in the Denver suburb of Aurora. He also noted that ketamine was given after McClain had been forcibly restrained by police.Cina said Tuesday that he didn’t have enough ev...

White missed a day of filming back in August as she was recovering from COVID-19. That means she missed five episodes.

Man on Man at Zebulon

Man on Man at Zebulon: Man On Man is erstwhile Faith No More man Roddy Bottum and his significant other Joey Holman. “It was double-sided,” Bottom told us of their working relationship back in June. “Fortunate in one way, that we’re boyfriends and we love each other, but also this thing opened up where, ‘oh we can create together.’ That is very rare.”“We had no idea we were making a band when we first started making the record,” Holman said. “We were just passing the time, and we were just writing music together. It was Roddy’s idea. We were driving from New York to L.A. and we had musical instruments. We knew we had to be stuck inside for a while, and we were just like, ‘Yeah, let’s make music.’ We didn’t have any concept of the future at all. It was just, ‘Let’s pass the time and let’s just survive and have some sort of a creative outlet.’ So we were very surprised and felt very lucky to be able to be here three years later at this point, and still doing it.”Phranc and dimber also...
