Can we please change the title to "World's biggest meat company linked to 'brutal massacre' in Amazon rainforest"?
Since Amazon the company is one of the most commonly discussed topics on this site I think the extra word will help to avoid derailing the conversation.
- samatman 7y ago...that's your problem with this headline? As far as I can gather from reading the article, a fair headline would be "World's biggest meat company probably bought laundered cattle from a farmer who staunchly denies involvement in 'brutal massacre' in Amazon rainforest". I'm opposed to turning the Amazon into a cattle farm, so if slandering people puts more pressure on these companies to clean up their act, so be it. I guess. But the actual content of this article is garbage, so: saved y'all a click.
- vanusa 7y agoMost people are aware that the word 'Amazon' has two primary referents. Given the context ("meat company", "massacre") I don't think anyone will confuse the two in this case.
