Slaughterhouse on Ridge Rd. Lackawanna

[tiredofbs]

I am sorry I have not been as active here as i would like to be but another new development in how the City of "LACK" is trying to screw the 1st Ward. Now do not get me wrong, I am all for business---but not a slaughter house for live animals right on Ridge Road! city hall, mayor and his administration have also keep this hidden from us for 2 months-----WHY????
Because they knew this kind of operation was fought out on William Street in the spring and there was a SUBWAY SHOP but NO ONE LIVED close by, NO HOUSES! They knew we in the 1st ward would protest the killing of live animals and the associated by-products such as rats and diseases that go along with it all! Now I know some people want this kind of operation but they can put the killing part somewhere else, NOT ON RIDGE ROAD!
Stay tuned, story on YNN News now.

I thought this deserved it's own thread.

What supporters of the slaughter-house fail to consider, are the
very real environmental problems generally known and associated with slaughterplants.

In Kaufman, Tx, neighbors shut down a local slaughterhouse
because not only were the smells & "slaughterhouse debris"
offensive, but the run-off of blood and manure were seeping
into the towns water-system.

Please! Don't give Town of Lancaster any ideas! We have enough problems with our town board. I am surprised they haven't allowed a slaughterhouse in town.

I have a dump basically in my back yard on indian/broadway.

Is the area zoned for a business?

Exactly what is the procedure they slaughter this stuff? I would believe they do it in a building don't they? There are health codes that have to be followed. I don't think the animals scream and they are being killed. How is this going to effect the people around it? Traffic patterns?

I have to admit as an animal lover, I just don't like the idea of having a slaughter house anywhere near me. Yes, I know that is how you get burgers etc...

This was a quote from the site, which I provided a link to, regarding the William Street slaughterhouse. It was to provide information. It was not an opinion against anything. Please re-read that post and go to the site provided. You will see it is a word for word quote.

Alright my bad! You no longer have a NIMBY card!

[tiredofbs]

Alrighty then!

I am pro anything that will positively impact Lackawanna. I would like more information on this type of business however.

From what I have read about it, there are negative connotations associated with a slaughterhouse. That in itself makes it unfavorable for a community already struggling to rise above it's negative reputation. Also, it was underhanded for the City to keep this a secret. It's more of the Polanski, dictatorship at work. The citizens, especially those who live in the immediate area, should have been able to voice their concerns about it.

The news showed the plan of the building last night and the "killing" area is a VERY small portion of this builing. They want to have a freshfood market, which we need a lot more of, and a lot of other retail area.

You want to impact Lackawana get rid of the Burka wearers. I refuse to drive through you fair city becuase of that population.

My question is how was DiCenso's on the corner of Brown St. and So.Park able to operate for years while I was a kid without any problems or complaints? Great fresh poultry with no problems. Maybe you need to be of the right ancestry to have a place like this open in Lackawanna.

[XLABOY]

BTW if this place will have fresh goat I'm more than willing to stop by for some and give it a try. I hunt and fish, eat what I take and have no problem trying this. You guys need to watch a little Anthony Bourdain!

Probably because Decensos was there a long time, grandfathered in, so to speak. Not because of ancestry.

Oh yea, and then there was the Mayor sneaking this one in and the Council "playin dumb" like they knew nothing about it. That's what sparks a controversy.
