Temple GrandinI believe that the place where an animal dies is a sacred one. There is a need to bring ritual into the conventional slaughter plants and use as a means to shape people's behavior.

In addition to developing better designs and making equipment to insure the humane treatments of all animals, that would be my contribution.
