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.

So now you bring up the Bible? Where does it say you can kick a cow in the head? I missed it.
>> Where does it say you can kick a cow in the head?
Well, that was a response to another poster who has nothing whatsoever to do with you, but, what the heck, just for fun I’ll take the bait.
Where does it say you can’t?
One would think, if you bring up the subject, you’d cite to the authority, you moron.
I’d explain, but you’re not worth the trouble. Like I said, it’s not *about* you, 1rudeboy.
I must have made you mad, because you’re stooping to name-calling. That’s beneath your skill level. Seriously.
We’ve been trading personal insults since this morning. Grow a pair.
>> Grow a pair.
???
I’m not hurt, just surprised. I thought you were more worthy.
Yes, that’s a bunny with a pancake on its head. How charming!
I guess you have to pretend you don’t understand — hence, the bunny — because you don’t want to face the fact that your name-calling doesn’t exactly square with the high-minded blather on your homepage.
You know... “Service to His servants, and selfless devotion to the divine”
“by their fruits ye shall know them”
I’ll pray for you.
FRegards
Pretend all you want. You took an untenable position, and have been trying to change the subject ever since. Bible, indeed.
When you don’t pay attention to the flow of the posts, you look foolish.
The bible comment related solely to the other poster’s comment, and had nothing whatsoever to do with the cattle thing. Nothing whatsoever.
Do you get it now? Or do I have to draw you a picture?
Why don’t we go back even further.
In a reply to a name-calling Christian, I suggested that they had a wonderful command of adjectives, did they get that from reading their Bible.
Then you parachuted into a conversation unrelated to you, in your inimitable clueless way, and demanded to know what the bible has to do with kicking a cow in the head.
So I replied that that wasn’t my point and didn’t concern you, but okay, if you want to go there, then YOU tell ME where the Good Book says you CAN’T kick your cow in the head.
I’m paraphrasing here, of course. But you get it. I hope. Unless you’ve already started drinking your Thunderbird.
That's not theoretically possible. It's the subject of the thread, and you've been deflecting from it ever since.
Sheriff Nelson said deputies were called to Conklin Dairy Farm at 6 a.m. Wednesday to provide security for an employee termination. After learning the nature of the termination, the sheriffs office conducted its own investigation and made the arrest.
Other charges may be filed in the case, according to the sheriff.

Whut??!?
I guess you *have* been hitting the Thunderbird. Since about noon, from the looks of it.
WTF are you talking about? I drew you a picture. Now you draw me one. What, exactly, do you expect me to do?
Graphic video by animal rights group shows newborn calves beaten, cows stabbed.
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
(Plain City) - An animal welfare group says its video shows workers at a dairy farm in Plain City beating cows with crowbars and stabbing them with pitchforks.
The Chicago-based nonprofit group Mercy for Animals says the video was recorded in an undercover investigation at Conklin Dairy Farm.
Conklin says it won't condone animal abuse. It says the video shows animal care inconsistent with the high standards it has set for its farm.
"Mercy for Animals" publicizes what it calls cruel practices in the dairy, meat and egg industries and promotes a vegan diet.
The video shows workers holding newborn calves down and stomping on their heads. It also shows one worker wiring a cow's nose to a metal bar near the ground and repeatedly beating it with a bar while it bleeds.
Mercy for Animals says it met on Monday with a representative of the Prosecutor's Office in Marysville to turn over evidence of repeated violations of the state's animal cruelty laws. The group wants criminal charges brought against Conklin Dairy workers.
Union County Sheriff Rocky Nelson announced Wednesday afternoon that 25-year-old Billy Joe Gregg of Delaware County was arrested and charged with 12 counts of cruelty to animals, a second degree misdemeanor.
Sheriff Nelson said deputies were called to Conklin Dairy Farm at 6 a.m. Wednesday to provide security for an employee termination. After learning the nature of the termination, the sheriffs office conducted its own investigation and made the arrest.
Other charges may be filed in the case, according to the sheriff.
Conklin Dairy Farms, a fourth-generation family operation based in Plain City, said it takes the care of its cows and calves very seriously and has reviewed the video.

Billie Joe Gregg, white trash. Maybe we can get some FReepers to stick up for him. /s
I'm expecting you to present one, just one, justifiable explanation for what you see on the tape, idjit.
>> I’m expecting you to present one, just one, justifiable explanation for what you see on the tape
Why would I do that? I DON’T agree with what the sadist did! I’ve said so more than once on this thread.
The veggie people were able to produce their propaganda because some redneck, inbred Bubba was proud of his ability to sadistically terrorize the defenseless cows and calves.
