U.S. Department of Agriculture officials are investigating a kosher slaughterhouse under attack for its practices. The investigation launched this week comes after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the USDA calling for criminal charges against Agriprocessors and against the Orthodox Union, which is one of the kosher supervisors of the Iowa plant. O.U. officials have defended the slaughterhouse.
