An animal welfare group said Tuesday that a graphic video it secretly recorded shows workers at a dairy farm beating cows with crowbars, stabbing them with pitchforks and punching them in their heads.

The video was recorded in an undercover investigation at Conklin Dairy Farms Inc., said Mercy For Animals, a not-for-profit group that publicizes what it calls cruel practices in the dairy, meat and egg industries and promotes a vegan diet.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the mercy for animals people were behind the mistreatment themselves — as a cynical stunt to further their cause (”veganism”).

Absolutely no evidence to back this...evidence clearly shows the farmer and workers sadistically maiming and torturing cows.

Farmers are businessmen. You don’t treat your means of production like that, nor do you tolerate such treatment by your employees. Aside from being unnecessary cruelty, it’s not in their own best interest.

He can lose a few by torturing and maiming them and selling them for beef. Obviously won't be too negative affect on his bottom line. And video clearly shows the business owner involved in the torture.

And to hell with all of these “animal rights groups”. They can go suck eggs.

Animal rights groups are the only people doing something about the sadistic torture that's shown in the video. Some people see videos like this and feel deeply that it is a moral outrage. What's fascinating is that you don't. It's like a part of your soul is turned off.

Most of your brain is switched off. That fascinates me.

A setup? Well I suppose it could be but that doesn't negate the fact that whoever did this needs to be arrested. Setup or not doesn't take away from the horror and brutality of torturing an animal.

Oh, there should be arrests alright! Either way, someone’s got to pay. And if my hunch is right, criminal conspiracy should be added to animal cruelty. Hope the cops really dig into this one!

I eat meant. I love meat. I hate PETA.

I side with the hippies on this one though.

It is only “incommensurate” because you do not think so. I didn’t bring up abortion . . . you did. Why don’t you explain what one has to do with the other?

Excellent. Conklin fired the guy. So much for your theory that the animal rights people made it all up.

So much for your theory that it was at least two people.

I never said that the animal rights people “made it all up”. I did say I wouldn’t be surprised if they were behind it. And I still believe that. It hasn’t been proven otherwise. It’s obvious Mr. Sadist knew he was being filmed. Who filmed him? His girlfriend that works for MAF?

My first reaction was, “Why would you do that to your own cows?”

I asked around today, "would you ever kick a cow in the head to get her to stand up?" All I got was dumbfounded stares.

There’s at least two people on tape . . . it’s not a “theory.” Stop projecting.

I’m not sure the crew at the McDonald’s where you work would really know.

Alright, I watched the video.
I wanna kick these guy's asses.
I could do it, too.

That one guy needs a major beat-down. For the cows.

Apart from the fact that you have no idea what I do for a living, and that you are just some idiot who never bothered to watch the video before commenting here, you would have a point.

So it was not an elaborate conspiracy concocted by this vegan animal-rights group? Thanks.

Most vacuous response ever. And petulant, insincere, adolescent. You're pathetic.

You have a wonderful command of adjectives! Did you learn that from reading your Bible?
