Except I've seen video of feedlot owners using a cattle prod to force downer cows to their feet so that they can for an instant qualify as standing, and be slaughtered. It happens. No one is indicting you personally, far from it--but there are majorly corrupt players in your industry.

This is one instance and it is illegal. What you are talking about is a processor not a feedlot operator. They are two different business and any business can be run by assholes. Those are more likely to be the cows in fast food restaurants not in your grocery store. Most grocers sell choice or select and no way an old or sick cow would ever grade select or choice.
There is always a way to buy beef directly from the producer if you buy a side of beef. Then it goes to a local small processor to be butchered. Saying that video represents the majority of the beef industry is like saying that Saddam Hussein represents the human race.
