Farm Animal Holocaust
The last slaughterhouse to close was reopened today, in Houston, Texas, as a memorial museum of the Farm Animal Holocaust. On display are the actual trucks used to haul “livestock” (as they used to say). In actuality though,’living animals’ were hauled off to slaughter, reminiscent of the trains used to bring Jews and Catholics to the gas chambers in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. One livestock hauling truck stands as an emblem engraved with the words “Lest it never happen again.”

“Lest it never happen again”? I think they’ve got that backwards. You should never let lame attempts at poetry torpedo the meaning of your essay.
