Florida Dairy Workers Seen Beating And Kicking Cows In Undercover Video
Huffpost ^ | November 11, 2017 | Hilary Hanson

A Florida dairy farm is under criminal investigation after an undercover video from an animal rights group revealed workers kicking cows in the head and beating them with metal rods.

Warning: The following video includes footage that viewers may find disturbing.

The video was shot by a member of Animal Recovery Mission who went undercover in August as a farm worker at Larson Dairy in Okeechobee County. The footage shows men brutally abusing cows as the bovines cower and duck their heads. In some cases, the cows are unable to get away because they are confined by bars meant to restrain them for the milking process.

Larson Dairy was a supplier of Publix Super Markets, which has announced it suspended deliveries from the farm in the wake of the video....

“They need to be fired asap.”

Maybe they need to be arrested. Isn’t animal abuse illegal? (I don’t know.)

It’s a completely ridiculous and utterly stupid question in an attempt to utilize circular logic in deflecting and excusing one bad behavior in support of another her in the name of ideaology.

That’s what liberals do best and what conservatives would expect. Not members of this site

Methinks you’re missing the point here.

Maybe you need a laxative, Jarhead. Go turn on the NFL and chill out.

Except for the fact that planned parenthood should have cameras.

The same thing happened at chicken farms a few years ago I believe in Kansas where illegals were employed. There was an undercover video of them doing horrible things to the poor little chickens.

Yet another reason why we don’t need illegals here. They don’t have our same values and they don’t want them. They want to create a little Mexico or South America here.

I agree but every single time with the abortion comments in a thread about animal torture or abuse. It's tiring.

I believe it. Back in Iowa the giant egg plants are all run by illegals with full knowledge of management. If one gets hurt no biggie and saved money...

Are ag-gag laws meant to silence whistleblowers within the agriculture industry ever brought up on abortion threads ? (Just wondering).

Noway animals being abused are producing a healthy good product.

Damn right it is and what I’d expect from my teen age Daughter to justify her misdeeds by pointing to other misdeeds. Childish, ineffective, weak and looks utterly ridiculous. This is why I subscribe to no Ideaology. This act stands on its own merits alone

Something is obviously wrong here.

And this one is coming from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

They aren’t going to sell horse as “beef” as horsemeat commands a higher price.
