Roundup from page 21

Slaughterhouse Closed

A kosher poultry
slaughterhouse has been shut down
due to unsanitary conditions.
Federal Judge Stephen C.
Robinson of the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New
York on Dec. 29 ordered the New
Square kosher poultry slaughter-
house closed after years of attempts
by the USDA to force the plant to
comply with the federal Poultry
Products Inspection Act.
The slaughterhouse's attorney
asked the judge to allow the plant
to operate for an additional two
weeks to give its kosher-consum-
ing customers time to find another
source for kosher poultry. The judge
refused after government lawyers
said it was too great a risk.
During an April inspection,
federal inspectors found there was
no soap or hand sanitizers in the
employee bathrooms, and found
poultry residue on walls, light fix-
tures and in the manager's office.
The slaughterhouse has been
planning to build a state-of-the-art
facility in the Chasidic Jewish corn-
munity of Ramapo, a town bor-
dered by New Jersey, a move being
resisted by the county.
The plant slaughters 1,500 to
1,600 chickens and turkeys a day,
six days a week, and its products
are sold at Oneg Poultry a retail
store in New Square, N.Y.

The Charge
Mordechai Vanunu, an Israeli
convicted 20 years ago of breach-
ing that nation's security laws,
said last week that Israel is con-
ducting "global thermo-nuclear
blackmail;' that the Pentagon
is staffed by Zionists, and that
President Obama's chief of staff
is an Israeli spy.

Seen by some as a whistle-blower
of Israel's secret nuclear capabili-
ties, his latest fantastic charges
expose Vanunu's bias and destroy
whatever credibility he may have
had.
