Farmers are businessmen. You dont treat your means of production like that, nor do you tolerate such treatment by your employees. Aside from being unnecessary cruelty, its not in their own best interest.
Yep. I spent several years working on a dairy farm myself and never saw any mistreatement of the animals. In fact we always carried a can of antibiotic spray that was bright purple for both treating any wounds and marking cows for later inspection by someone qualified to do so.
With cows you need to be firm and occasionally rough but never abusive.

When my husband was a teen, he spent many summers working on one of his uncle’s dairy farm here in, Ohio. I showed the video to my husband and he said he had never seen cows suffer that kind of abuse from farmers. Then he asked me why I had to show him the video. :-(
