Footnote:
Slaughterhouses have the highest turnover of any industry and hire the poorest of the poor. Some slaughterhouse owners secretly recruit illegal immigrants
to do the work.
Some of the hazards of slaughterhouse work are deaths and injuries including lost digits from the slicing machines, being exposed to freezing temperatures, kicks and bites of terrorized animals, high volume noise from screaming frightened animals, slipping on the grease, blood, urine and feces on the slaughterhouse floor, carbon monoxide, electrocution, alcoholism and drug use to shut out animals' pain
