As long as the animals are treated humanely…
A new Mercy for Animals investigation reveals unbelievable cruelty at a dairy farm in Ohio.
After viewing the footage, Dr. Bernard Rollin, distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, stated: “This is probably the most gratuitous, sustained, sadistic animal abuse I have ever seen. The video depicts calculated, deliberate cruelty, based not on momentary rage but on taking pleasure through causing pain to cows and calves who are defenseless.”

This is the worst I have seen and have been crying for those cows and calves all afternoon. Why is only one person being held accountable? I don’t listen to the volume , it’s hard enough to watch as it is,but it looked like the farm owner was involved in the abuse as well. I watch because I feel I owe it to the abused animal, to validate their suffering somehow, this is why I became a vegan. It has only been recent that my blinders where removed but now the universe keeps showing me the brutal reality. I cannot fathom how tying up an animal and beating it can be “fun” or “entertaining”. A helpless child being punched repeatedly in the face – this guy needs to be kicked in his private parts repeatedly. An eye for and eye.

Words are inadequate. It breaks your heart.
Please tell me what has been done to bring legal action against these abusers and the company who hires them.

Oh my God. I could only watch 45 seconds of the animal cruelty video. I am ashamed to associated with the human species, that we could be so sadistic. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Those poor babies. The calf that I saw in the beginning looked just dazed and confused. It is like he was saying, “What are you doing???” I found myself saying that…What the hell are these people thinking? I’ve been a vegetarian off and on most of my life. I read the book “Skinny Bitch” a year ago and I immediately stopped eating meat. Seeing these videos confirms that we all need to do something to stop the insanity that takes place in these factory farms. UNBELIEVABLE. UNIMAGINABLE. What can I do to help?
