Sorry Damon, that's from a vegan reporter, so the source is suspect. The number of 28,000 was an annual amount in 1999 and it was down to 23,000 in 2003 so we don't even know if the slaughterhouse is even still in operation today.
Also, if you take the NEXT LINE of the quote it goes like this:
USDA approved facility on the island of Oahu that has the capacity to slaughter approximately 28,000 hogs and 5,000 cattle annually. The Kahua Meat Company, owner of the Kahua slaughterhouse, has announced the closure of this facility as of November 30, 1993.
So, where ARE they slaughtering these thousands of pigs at?
