Re: Temple Grandin

Has anyone got the text of whatever report Dr. Grandin allegedly  wrote? I 
doubts she would say that there were no horses being transported in 
double-deckers at all.  She may well have stated she saw none there at the 
time.
It seems to be a reasonably common, albeit  inappropriate occurrence. (Is 
it not illegal as well?)

I'm not saying that other people, like the owners of the facility, might 
not well have put their own spin on what she said, though.

Dr. Grandin's particular expertise is in desiging livestock handling 
facilities and slaughter facilities to minimize stress to the animals and 
to maximize efficiency for the operators (an in fact, minimizing animal 
stress is part and parcel of maximizing efficiency.)
