Graphic Video: More Dairy Farm Animal Abuse?

I can’t believe these savages. They deserve to be treated exactly the same with their customers providing the treatment they gave the animals. I have no doubt that anyone to uses the products that cattle provide us would feel that this type of treatment is in any way acceptable.

There are many undercover investigations that show animal cruelty and abuse is rampant throughout animal agriculture operations. The industry is largely self-regulated, and the repeated investigations revealing this sickening cruelty shows a dire need for regulation by federal and state authorities.

Conklin Dairy needs to be shut down and fined. The sickos who treated these animals the way that they did and ENJOYED it need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and put UNDER the prison. They are obviously a bunch of sick people and I would be willing to bet that they knew that these practices have been going on for a long time and the only reason that the owner is so “outraged” is because he and his cronies got caught! Sick, sick, sick and disgusting. Conklin Dairy — if your company is an example of the industry standards, I’m going with soy milk! Shame on you.

These guys are going to be taken to the cleaners by CNN’s Jane Velez Mitchell tonight on her show “Issues.” Watch and enjoy the payback!!!!

“Graphic Video: More Dairy Farm Animal Abuse?” — Why is there a question mark on that? Does anyone anywhere NOT think that is animal abuse? There are people on this planet who should be locked away & never released — but is that enough? Guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt (multiple accounts on video, no less), they get NO SYMPATHY from me.

Has anyone considered these abhorrent actions to be a staged event by an anti-animal group. With the excellent camera actions present, it appears that it takes two to tango. Both individuals, regardless of affiliation, are guilty of animal abuse and should be prosecuted to the extent of the law.

This video staged? Right. Mercy for Animals must have hired the Avatar special effects team for that. The cameraman did it? Do you hear the cameraman egging anyone on? I don’t. This is abuse clear and simple, and the bastards need to be locked up for life. I am tired of all the excuses and obfuscations. If I were a dairy farmer, I wouldn’t be shooting the messenger. I’d be putting this place out of business.

Also – kicking udders, stabbing with pitchforks and such leads to illness’s which lead to no milk being sold which leads to no profit. Thus NO ONE who has a stake in whether the farm does does this crap!!!

To those who think this is staged- there is no way to stage abhorrent abuse. You think that MFA is trying to ruin agriculture, NO- they are trying to open everyone’s eyes to the lack of control, morals and overall greed the industry operates as. Educate yourself about the fact that your meat, eggs and dairy all come from factory farms where the abuse and filth is widespread and not isolated. Unless you are watching a farmer kill the animal, picking the eggs yourself, or milking a cow THEN it is humane. This is NOT humane and is meant to open your ignorant eyes. Why are you having someone do this dirty work for you? Because everyone who consumes animal products doesn’t want to face the ugly truth and would rather have scum like in these videos kill these animals for them. Open your eyes everyone, the ag industry has major issues. Support your local farmers or kill the animals yourself, but DO NOT support this disgusting industry of scumbags.

Dear Concerned Farmer, if your post is correct why is Mr. Conklin seen hurting a cow? If you are in fact a concerned farmer why don’t you police your own instead of making excuses for them? I think we need a nationwide BOYCOTT of MILK maybe then you will get our message. Abuse will NOT be tolerated and if you cannot police your own then we will! My grandfater was a dairy farmer and NEVER did he ever hurt one of his herd. I hope they put both those men in JAIL. Mr. Conklin needs to be shoveling poo and not dairy farming as he obviously does not keep watch as to what is happening at his farm he should be held accountable!
We are watching all of you and will not hesitate to report ANY of you!

If Mr Conklin in the upstanding man and dairy farmer Concerned Farmer suggests he is, perhaps he will take center stage and ask for stiffer laws and penalties for individuals such as the “poor choices” he made when hiring and training these people. (How you can explain Conklin himself kicking a cow is beyond me), but I will give you, Mr Concerned Farmer, the benefit of the doubt regarding your comment.

I have never seen such horrible cruelity, wht the hell is this dairy stil doing in business? These men should hve the same treatment done to them, I hope and pray that they are prosecuted to the extent….. these are very sick people those poor cattle and calfs, I was raised on a farm, and this just makes me sick……. and Mr Conklin you are a maniac. you all belong in prison, probaly cant fight your way out of a paper bag, so you take it out on defensive animals you dam cowards.

Re: I’m a Farmer. I for one do not assume abuse is common. I do wonder why even the farmers are not standing up and saying this is wrong. I read a lot of defense but no disgust on your part. Just as was said earlier, if Mr Gary Conklin who owns this farm is such an upstanding dairy man, why is he not cheerleading the prosecution of these rouge workers? Why are you not asking for that. Fair enough question right!?!?

I am a high school student raising my own dairy cattle as well as working on a dairy farm there is no way that this would ever take place on a dairy farm. How can this not be staged?(same man same farm every time? and if this did take place then take the farm from him. Not every farmer is to blame for this this is one out of a million farmers how can you blame a whole industry for one mans doing. The animals are what makes things run on the farm so all of the cattle are treat well to make there lives as easy as possible, our goal is to have our cattle healthy so they can have the best production through out there life. each calve that is born receives the proper care when delivered because they are an important part of the farm. Dairy farmers have nutritionist to make sure that all of the cattle have a suitable diet for there body to keep them healthy, i don’t even have that to in my life. Tale docking is a practice many farmers do not do anymore and is very out dated. So here is the facts from a dairy person the cows are what i live for i want them to be happy and health at all times, manure is cleaned out every time the cattle are milk i walk in the pens all the time they are milked and pens are not manure filled ever. I show my cattle at different expos and would like to say they are pampered the cows bedding is fluffed all the time the are bathed and clipped just like you going to the beauty salon. Just want to let everyone know that i love my cows and all the cows at work i make sure that every time i care for the animals i make sure they have every thing they need to stay happy and health. The cows are my life and i love all of them. Please think about the real dairy farmers in America before you say that all are bad. Fancy is my best friend and i love her. Thanks :)

Matt and Fancy, So glad to see others outraged by this behavior. If Mercy For Animals staged this video they would be liable for any and all damages to Mr Conklin. Do you really think they would sacrifice their careers in some kind of vendetta against anyone? No, they would not. The only thing many of us want are laws so that people like this go to jail and do not get “suspended”. This kind of blatent lack of compassion for life is easily transferred into abusive behavior towards humans. (Not my words, do some research on serial killers and how most start out abusing animals). If this is such outlandish behavior by everyone’s standards, then prosecution of these folks should be NO PROBLEM. All of us should be demanding they go to jail right???

Re I’m a farmer: Not that my two cents will make of break your day, but I am very happy to see that my request for disgust from all whether in farming or not be voiced was heard by you. KUDOS!!!
We, as a civilized society, need to see that there are laws in place to ensure this behavior is discouraged very strongly. Firing them, a $50 fine will not stop this; but 6 months in jail and a $2,500 fine might make them think twice next time ya know what I mean. :)

I am absolutely disgusted by this. Conklin farms should be shut down and everyone involved should face criminal charges – others must have seen and been aware of what transpired. This is terrible and beyond comprehension. Conklin himself should be also held accountable, he was shown in the video. He should be fined, jailed and shut down! DISGUSTING!!!!! I would like to boycott their products, this is a shame that these animals had to endure this.

if you hate your job then freaking quit!!!!!!!!! these guys are sick perverts and deserve to be treated exactly how they treated those poor innocent animals!! FREAKING SAVAGES!!!!!!!!!!

The dairy industry is just that….complete exploitation of cows. How is that good? How is that justifiable? This is absolutely disgusting behavior. The ONLY solution is to NOT SUPPORT IT!!

my aunt and uncle had a dairy farm and there is no need to abuse those animals like that. those cows are in a routine everyday and know what to do without punishment. i cannot believe someone could be so cruel. and for you people thinking that is staged apparently you have never heard a animal in pain. those men should be cruelly punished.

Boycotting milk and punishing all of the hard working people who care about their animals and their way of life is not the answer. Tougher laws on animal abuse is a better start. That kid will end up with a fine and maybe minimal jail time. that is the sick part. How does boycotting milk fix that??? IT DOESN’T!!!!

this video is horrible, disturbing….
i have worked on alot of dairy farms, and the cows are treated very well, so this definately is not a portrayal of what a dairy farm is like.
They got a roof over there head, a comfy mat to sleep on, fans to keep them cool in the summer, heated water bowls in the winter, and an electric cow brush mounted on … See Morethe wall that they line up for, so they can get there back scratched. All these things are very standard on a dairy farm.
This farmer is an exception to the norm and should be punished…

I agree no reason to defend Conklin or his farm. They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

“this sickening cruelty shows a dire need for regulation by federal and state authorities.”
There’s already cruelty to animals regulations; the trouble is these are all self-watched and rarely enforced. FDA couldn’t care less. FBI only cares if animals are rescued from these places.
Only the grassroots can truly expose this. And only a boycott of all animal products can strike this evil in the root. Soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, hemp seed milk instead and dark leafy vegetables for calcium. Show some courage and stand up to this evil.

Consumers should boycott this Conklin Farms and any product produced by the company. Regardless of number of people employed by Conklin Farms, the Federal funding should be pulled and the farm will hopefully shut down. It appears that many individuals participated and endorsed the actions of this Farm. Therefore, they should all pay a price. I sincerely hope this puts Conklin out of business.

Blakmira,
Boycotting all milk doesn’t solve any problems. What that will do is shut down all farms (the good ones with the bad). Then, all of our products will come from overseas where there is much more abuse that occurs and then there is nothing that can be done about it. Not only that, products overseas have been known to contain toxins, such as the toys sent from China with high lead and Cadmiuim levels. If this what you want? Get real. Get educated. And don’t let the media and those in power fool you into shutting down local farmers.

Del is absolutely correct. I think it’s terrible that Mercy for Animals let it go this far. Abuse is abuse. It shouldn’e matter how many instances of it can be found over a 30-day period of time. Also, I think that ALL the FARMERS in OHIO should sue Mercy and all the news stations for Libel and Slander as they are making headlines about Ohio Dairy Farm Abuse and putting it as if it happens on all farms, which I know for a fact, is not the case. And, the person doing to cruelty is not a farmer, but a hired hand, which are not easy to come by because not many in this country actually want to work hard and do a good job. Finding hired help is not easy. So, I can easily see how perhaps the Conklins were either unaware or needed the help.

I could not believe what I was seeing. The people in this video should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No suspended sentences, no reduced sentences. I would love to see these scumbags in jail for a long time. They are a threat to anyone around them. I would bet that if this video was shown to the fellow inmates of these individuals, some old fashioned prison justice would happen, which I think that these psychopaths truly deserve.

In the video the sadist Billy Joe was shown bragging about beating a cow so bad her face was horrifically swollen before sent to slaughter. Does this abuse not affect the quality of the meat product? It is known that the answer if YES! The product from this farm should be boycotted!! This ignorant animal that has worked along with such a monster should pay $$!!!

This People that are miss treating the cows should just come and tell me wath kind of calaber do they want in their head. These peolpe are just garbage.

OMG that poor baby calf.
I could only watch a few seconds of this…This is horrible :-(
:’-(

Dear concerened farmer I applaud you!!!!! Why would you look straight in to the camera if you dont know it is there!!! I believe this was staged!!

I am a farmer, my husbands family comes from a long line of dairy farmers that goes back over 150 years. This video is sick, disgusting and very upsetting. This isn’t something that happens in every day farm life. To blame it on all dairy farmers and boycott milk is for a person with a one track mind. This is people livelyhood, there income! Farmers put there life into their business and too blame all dairy farmers for this one bad egg, doesn’t mean all farmers are like that. We love our animals tremedously. We don’t have dairy cows, we have horses, beef,chickens, fruit and vegetables. This action made me almost loose my lunch. Farmers struggle as it is. Where would you people all be if it wasn’t for farmers putting in long hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to put food on your table. What do you just think it grows in boxes, bottles, jars etc. Where do you think fresh vegetables and fruit come from.

I have nevert ssen anything like this in my life this has really torn me up i couldn’t watch the video iam really relieved this is out because they need to be severly punished for their actions these laws of animal abuse must be changed those cows should have turned on them and kicked them to where they could not walk to court i pray they rot in prison do not let them out abuse must stop now get these people don’t allow them to do it again i can’t comphrend what makes people do such cruel things to humans and to animals please stop the cruelty

Gary Conklin should definately be held accountable and this business should be shut down. Did Gary Conklin know of the abuse? Well being that he himself, the owner of the company, was shown in the video abusing an animal I would say he not only knew but condoned these acts. I am not an animal activist but this unrelenting torture of the animals that are providing us substanence. Why has Conklin or any of the other workers besides Gregg not been arrested and charged? Insanity!

I would like 5 minutes with this guy thats all it would take with this punk

How can anyone think it’s acceptable to beat a defenseless animal of any kind whether they know there’s a camera on them or not? Would they hurt them a little less if noone was around? Don’t be ridiculous and get your head out of your ass. I do believe that the ‘norm’ by a lot of the farms is the humane treatment and care of any farm animal whether it’s a cow or a chicken, and anything in between. These guys should have the maximum sentence and fines and maybe a little like treatment while they’re at it. They can show what a big man they are with a metal hook in their nose and getting a few bones broken with a crowbar. I think there’s probably a few people that would be willing to help out. As far as the farm owner not knowing what’s going on is a crock. He’s not a very good businessman if he doesn’t know what’s happening in his own business. How can you hide the blood from the injuries they have inflicted, or the swollen faces, limping or other problems that would arise? I think he knew about what these morons were doing and is just sorry about getting caught and is now acting righteous about the situation. I would never buy any product related to this farm.

I would love 5 minutes with a tire iron and that guy.

I am totally outraged over this animal abuse. I have asked our Governor, Ted Strickland, to shut down Conklin Dairy Farm. This is the tip of the iceberg. I’m sure this has been going on for years and yet the owner, Gary Conklin, says that his cows and calves are treated humanely. The video doesn’t lie. Thanks to Mercy For Animals for the undercover investigation.

We would be insane to believe that this company was ignorant to the goings on within their own dairy farm. Were there no managers, supervisor, or owners anywhere on the premises the entire time this horror was going on? The owners of Conklin Dairy Farm need to fess up to their responsibility and show they are truly remorseful and as horrified as the rest of the world about this, and install video cameras as well as make a sizeable donation to the Humane Society. Otherwise, it’s all yada yada BS and we all know it. It’s up to US to make sure that we police dishonest, greedy companies such as this, and we fully intend to do so. The state of Ohio needs to step up too and do their part once and for all. Stiff penalties for this company and changes in the abuse laws of Ohio…NC is doing it, so no excuses, please. We’ll be watching without a doubt. We won’t be going away.

Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City owner)s) and workers are guilty for this barbaric actions. They are responsible and must pay under the law for this horror. The controls in all U.S must be scrutinized at all times. The consumers should know what is behind the products they buy and boycott those tat promote cruelty

You’ve got to just love those who want to pin it on animal activists! WHAT? STAGED?? HELLO! Yes, they were FILMING THEMSELVES because they find themselves so damn entertaining! Have you lived in the 21st century? Have you not heard of all the Whackos and sadists who film themselves and post it (until it’s removed) on Youtube? Some boys who tortured a street dog in Mexico recently did that and thankfully it, like this, created an uproar.
ANIMAL ABUSE, like ANY ABUSE – IS INTOLERABLE, INEXCUSABLE and DANGEROUS, as it leads to increasing violence – PERIOD.
I echo those who’ve pointed out that CONKLIN, HIMSELF is seen abusing his cows. CALVES, no less!!! SHAME ON THEM and SHAME ON YOU FOR MAKING EXCUSES for them, STEVE, JAYE, CONCERNED FARMER! The fact that you are not as sickened by seeing this as most humans are, speaks directly to what’s in YOUR heart and mind. I still can’t breathe after having watched it and as a longtime animal AND human rights advocate, I’ve seen some horrendous things in my time. These ‘men’ have no right sharing this planet.

Thanking you ABC for continuing to broadcast stories such as this, bringing it to the public eye. Please continue to do follow up with any leads.

thank you for posting this for everyone to see! these sort of farms should not remain behind the curtain. people need to see where their food comes from and how it’s made.
someone said “one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch.” well this bunch is mostly spoiled. find me a dairy farm where calves aren’t taken from their mothers, where the mothers don’t go through this process of losing their child over and over again, where cows are free ranging on grass, and where the spent cows aren’t sent to slaughter after years of being used.

This incident makes me sick. I grew up on a dairy farm and we would have never even imagined treating our animals the way they were treated in this video. The health and welfare of our family and our finances were based on the health of the cows. All of the research out there shows that the more relaxed and comfortable the cows are, the more and higher quality milk they produce.
I hope these barbarians are legally taken to the cleaners, they deserve it.

We alrleady have too many federal regulations. You cannot dictate morals to people no matter how many regulations there are. Cruel people will do cruel things – its been that way since time began. This video is exceptionally graphic. There are some times when you have to prod a cow to get it up (as the owner was shown doing in the video). If you can’t get it up, it could die. But the employee in this video goes way beyond that. His treatment of the animals is cruel and he seemed to enjoy it. Most owners try to take good care of their animals since they represent their livlihoods. I am very much against cruelty but I am equally against the government taking more control of our lives.

I can barely articulate how deeply this video upset me. I’ve already gone to Soy Milk and plan to move from meats altogether. I am an avid animal advocate and seeing what happened at the Conklin Farm makes me want to get myself a crowbar and show those ignorant and dangerous men what it feels like to be beat in the head mercilessly. How can the owner (pictured in the video abusing a cow himself) stand up and say to the public that he had no idea this was happening on his farm?! I know that this behavior doesn’t portray the actions of every dairy farmer in the world. I know that. Having said that and knowing this is an isolated circumstance, I feel that all persons involved in these actions need only to have every count of cruelty they’ve ever committed on an animal done back to them. They may not make it through it, but I’m guessing that many of the cows and other animals they abused in their life times didn’t make it either. I have no sympathy anyone who abuses defenseless creatures. I hope desperately that this man gets more than just 3 years in jail and $9000 in fines. If they give him the maximum, that’s all he’ll get. And if he gets the 2 for 1 deal that they give convicts in Indiana, he’ll be out again in 18 months. It’s just not right. Disgusting, vile, immoral, reprehensible and wrong. That place needs shut down and burnt to the ground.

Personally, i would love to take these farm workers and jab them with pitchforks in front of their families.

I never understood why people who hate animals, get into the animal business. This is why when my family and I buy milk, we only buy local. There is no need to rush production, for poor treatment. If we wanted to, we could go to the farm and buy direct. In PA, raw milk is legal to buy, and that is all my family drinks. Please support local farmers, know where you are buying from, and put people like this out of business!

well it is plan to see that they don’t love their jobs or they wouldn’t do that to their charges imagine if they were working in aged cared or for the mentally impaired wow we would lock them up for many years for the abuse, which they have done to defensive animals chained up and cant runaway from them. that is my only problem with this type of farming is the people want PROFIT over welfare not only for animals the employees (re:pay peanuts get monkeys). so why use this media to punish a few losers, so then use the media to look at the social issues as a whole why do we blame a few losers for abuse and the whole problem is society as a whole get it right and take responsibility for your own crap and fix the problem not the symptoms as always if they can make profit they will do it or not stop blaming and fix it for every one not just the few who can afford it

this is disgusting. i hope he dies.

Thanks to ABC News and Mercy for Animals for reporting on this story. Let’s hope that the horror of this crime isn’t pardoned by default when another unconscionable news story shuffles it to the bottom of the pile. This farm needs to be burned to the ground, its owner and workers beaten with crow bars and pitch forks themselves before being made to live in the stench and slop of their own feces. The animals should be given a new home at Farm Sanctuary.
How as a society have we continued to protect the worst behaviors for profit?
Is there no hope for us to act honorably? Are we destined to ignore evil for the sake of convenience?

Obviously these are not California cows, California cows are happy cows :D

We run a large scale cattle ranch. I know that ranches are not the same as dairy farms but they can be similar. We have never in our lives mistreated our animals.
The men that you just witnessed in that video are ones that you will see abusing people and or killing them. I highly doubt that they grew up on a ranch/farm. If they did they need to be taken out back and shot.
As with any industry you will always have your “Culls” who spit in your food, cut corners or just half-ass their work. Think about how many people you know/work with that really don’t care about what they are doing. The sad thing is that they are the ones that PETA and other animal rights groups always manage to find and film.
Please do not judge our industry as a whole based on these morons. For those of you who think we are all rich….You should really look at a balance sheet of a rancher/farmer. It is a commodities market. When the price of cattle is down, hay prices/grain prices are up. The reason that we do it…..we love it. Every aspect of it. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a baby calf born that you planned out over a year ago. Or watching your kids raise a bummer calf from a bottle and then take it to the county fair and win their first ribbon. Do you really think they are going to mistreat bessy?
Please believe me when I say that this does not happen often and that ALL of the parties involved (including the camera man) should be prosecuted. When two men break into a house and only one murders someone they are both guilty of murder. Same should go here. The guy with the camera is out of his mind and equally as guilty for not reporting his findings to local police.
The sad thing is that he was so contented about the video that he did absolutely nothing to stop it. What does that say about his organization if they are not willing to step up to the plate and stop this when it is right in front of their eyes? They allowed animals to be brutally beaten for at least a month before they did anything. Does that sound like someone who really cares about animals? They should have turned them in to the police like anyone with half a brain would have done.
If your kid went over to someone’s house with a video camera and witnessed a father raping a girl and did nothing but video tape it for an entire month, would he be as heroic as the activist holding this camera? Now that it is shone in a different light do you see what I am getting at?
PETA and the rest of these organizations do have an agenda, and they will do what they can to accomplish it. I believe that the organizations were founded for the right reasons, but are now over-run with extremists.
When you donate to the humane society you are NOT donating to help animals. You are, however, donating to pay for lawyers. If you donate anything give it to your local shelter. It will go directly to the animals and their care.
What I am trying to accomplish with this lengthy post is that I want you to see all views. I do not condone any of this and I believe that the farmer should also be punished. I am sorry but it is bogus to think he didn’t know. When those men lifted their hands the animals flinched. He had to have noticed that.
Please do not boycott milk because some liberal extremist believes it will put dairy farmers out of business. And to the liberal extremist, if you put them out of business where do you think the cows would go? Mcdonalds? Or some plush pasture paid for by the government.
Take this as you will it is just my viewpoint and some actual facts about the humane society that sarah mcgloughlin, jenny mccartney (sp…who cares) forget to tell you about.

This is outrageous. I am sick to my stomach after watching this. I just can’t believe that someone could be so heartless. The entire farming industry needs to be reevaluated and new standards need to be defined… and clearly, Conklin Dairy Farms needs to be shut down.

As a young woman, currently working on my degree in agriculture, I have spent countless hours working on a dairy farm back home, not to mention all of the hours I have spent working with a beef cattle operation at school, I have a hard time watching this video. There is nothing acceptable about the violence taking place at this farm. Even as a STRONG supporter of American farmers and American agriculture, I see no reason to keep this farm in operation. Episodes such as this one are what give those of us in Agriculture a bad rep. Get rid of farmers who choose to take part in inhumane practices, and leave the real farming to those of us who truly care.

To all of you whom think ranchers/farmers are millionaires (beth);
Before you just jump to conclusions lets remember expenses. Innoculating livestock costs approximately $30/head a year ($3000 for 100) this does not include palpating them.
You bitched and whined when gas was at an all time high, imagine running tractors all summer to harvest hay/grain/other forages, and then continuing to run them throughout the winter. Let’s pretend there is a hay shortage (2006) and the ground won’t defrost. One ton of hay (One big round bale) is going to cost around $200. We feed 5 to 50 head every three days. Imagine what it costs to insure a farm, equipment, cattle, people who work on it. Imagine the power bills from the parlor, irrigation and other misc. equipment. Not to mention control of obnoxious weeds. Some weeds you have to spray with a helicopter because whiny people like you are no longer allowing controlled burns. That alone is around $20,000 vs maybe $100 from field burning, one top of another $20,000 to put on fertilizer. Those pivots you see in the field, they start at $75,000. The hand irrigation, every link is $60+. So before you all start jumping to conclusions about what is in our pocket, try using your head. It is very expensive to run a farm/ranch.

Don’t send those bastards to one of our plush, humane prisons! Send them to Iran with CIA documentation and no weapons. Thats the only way they’ll get the treatment they deserve!

amen

Thank you for sharing this information. Absolutely horrifying treatment. I’m appalled and disgusted. These men have major power trips and anger issues and deserve to be punished for this abuse. Please continue to bring these situations to light so that innocent animals who give so much to us, can have a decent life.

Kellie,
How many cows have you milked in your lifetime? To call you on your bs, describe the process, from squeeze chute to filteration. And exotics do not count, they had better be dairy or certain english x breds, or continentals. Or at least a mw epd of the equivelancy to the aaa’s +32. Oh and btw, it is spelt Udders not utters. That fits into “you are utterly ridiculous if you think you are going to win this round.”

They are only bastards! The same treatment should be used on them!

I’m soo having steak for dinner

Where do you think the cows will go qasim if you put the industry out of business? It is a large industry and it is very hard to “police” it. I am willing to bet grandad had no more than 20 acres with 10 cows on it. You have no clue what you are talking about, stick to big city living and let people who know more give their input on this.

The same happen next to my house. A man who has a dog; never give a bath to this dog. The dog is 17 years old. He looks like a sheep; he never cut its hair. He left the dos outside during the whole winter and we can heard the dog crying everyday.

I don’t drink much milk but am going to boycott all animal products coming out of Ohio. This state has an ever deepening cess pool of abuse.
Many of the surrounding states have shut down their dog auctions–but not Ohio. Hey, a way to make money off the backs of these dependent animals.
I used to think the amish were a uniquely sensitive group choosing to live life outside the mainstream. Their total disregard for the animals in
their filthy hovels. disgusting!

Thank you Mercy For Animals for doing your part in our world

This is the most horrific thing I have ever seen! What kind of person could actually do this do another living being! I am completely sickened!!! Poor animals!!!!!

very sad and unacceptable, heart breaking.
