Kids have a curiosity about where their food comes from. I don\u2019t think there should be anything wrong with showing them where meat comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The children were escorted through the facility from the loading bay, where cattle enter the building, through to the stunning process where the animals receive a pneumatic bolt to the brain, rendering them brain dead. \u201cSome of the kids started crying then.\u201d said slaughterhouse foreman Dan Smith. \u201cWe told them it was all a natural part of how beef is made and ends up in yummy hamburgers, but that didn\u2019t seem to help much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The field trip then went awry after the brain dead animals were chained up by their back legs and then cut into to be bled to death. \u201cI saw one little boy throw up.\u201d Smith said. \u201cAnd then after that there was screaming and running and all these other kids throwing up all over the place. We tried to calm them down, but it was out of control by then. These kids were just freaked out; they didn\u2019t even finish the tour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OMAHA, Neb.
