- There are 14 billion hamburgers consumed each year in the United States alone. The people who eat those burgers, though, have little knowledge of what's actually in them. Current USDA regulations, for example, openly allow beef contaminated with E. coli to be repackaged, cooked and sold as ready-to-eat hamburgers.

This has been shot down as "not true" like most of the rest of the PETA crap.
It is irresponsible to distract people with this sort of dishonest nonsense. When there is a serious issue, as there has been in the past, people don't know how to react for their own safety.
This is like the hardware store that sells plywood and sponsors the Hurricane warnings on the TV news.
Shot -down by whom?
The video is a composite of scenes that are as much as 60 years old and from different countries around the world. Most of the issues that the video claims would bankrupt an American producer. There were some American producers along with producers in other countries who were running filthy, and inhumane operations. The FDA, and numerous other agencies have been after them and shutting them down.
You need to look at the changes in cattle business that have been made by people like Dr. Temple Grandin. ( http://www.grandin.com/ )
Maltreatment of the animals is wrong and it is a huge money loser for producers. None of us are making more than marginal profits and we cannot afford the filthy, inhumane, and expensive conditions shown in the PETA video.
A bruised cow becomes a "dark cutter" at the slaughterhouse and that means a huge loss of profits for the producer.
Excited or frightened animals will jump around. If you are giving injections and break off a syringe and it reaches the market place in the meat it would cause national havoc. There is a long list of reasons that people just don't maintain the conditions in the video.

The National Cattlemans Association runs programs every year to train ag workers. It is called the BQA ( http://www.bqa.org/ ) and it is part of training hands to maintain the proper conditions. There are lots of similar programs.
If you are really interested in being a part of the solutions how about supporting for COOL on every single retail food package or container? COOL is Country Of Origin Labeling so you can target the real issues that threaten the food supplies.
Processed meat such as hamburger is exempt from COOL.
