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.

Not that it is impossible, but please provide a reference.
Ok, two guys, including the (alleged) owner.
>>First ask the people in “Mercy for Animals” if they are pro-abortion.<<
Truth be told.
Dismembering human babies in the womb is cruel too.
>> Ok, two guys
Hmmm... one guy to hold the camera, one guy to abuse the cattle. Then switch.
No evidence, just sayin’.
Help me out with the logic: it is ok to abuse animals because we abuse babies? Does that mean that we must all turn vegan if Roe v. Wade is overturned?
This looks like BS or worse to me.
No. Two guys, at minimum. You have the alleged owner kicking that calf in the head, plus the sadist.
Too late. The vid is already on youtube and racking up numbers. They better get to the bottom of this, before it turn into something major. Or finds its way to the islamist recruiters salivating for people just like this.

Who exactly said it was okay to abuse animals?
No one here is asking you to become a Vegan. I am asking for those with compassion, to contact the appropriate authorities in that Ohio community to ask that those animals - who are beating the cows in the film - will be prosecute .
You are welcomed to move on to another post that will be less stressful for you.
The poster suggested WE send it to the AP.
protip: if you don't want your dairy farm to become "the rallying cry for every Vegan nutjob" in the country, supervise your damn employees.
>> You have the alleged owner kicking that calf in the head
I’m missing the part where the guy kicking the calf in the head is alleged to be the owner of the farm.

My nephew in law is a sheriff in Stark County Ohio.
No one here needs to call. They are pretty good at what they do.

Thanks for your concern about my stress level. I’ll post wherever I see fit.
My cause in posting this is to make sure PIGS are not caring for the cows who provide my family with milk, cheese, butter and meat!
Don’t be obtuse. There are, at minimum, two individuals mistreating animals on that tape. I don’t care if one is from the Planet Zod.
This is the common tactic in research labs. One of the first and most famous cases was known as the Silver Springs monkey trial. Alex Pacheco of later PETA fame gained employment in the lab as a caretaker of the monkeys, waited until the lab staff went on vacation then abused the monkeys and filmed the result. The video was released to the press with the story that the lab was responsible for the condition of the monkeys.
That action and others like it have many repercussions because people uncritically believe the MSM. One is to make medical research involving animals much more difficult. The toll in human lives can only be guessed.
There are some seriously misguided animal rights groups. But if you can refer us to any faked videos that have been taken to the prosecutor’s office in other circumstances I’ll be amazed.
Nice try, though.
