Florida Dairy Workers Seen Beating And Kicking Cows In Undercover Video

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....

I know we are going to get the usual comments about liberals who are against animal abuse but who are also pro-abortion. I agree it's an unacceptable contradiction however what angers me is this article fails to mention the obvious--the perpetrators are Hispanic males who are most likely illegals and it is in their culture to abuse animals as well as people as well as entire societies with their violent natures. Look at the video, these are not white anglo saxon protestants beating the cows.

Ping.

I worked on a dairy farm. I won’t watch the video, but abusing milk cows is both cruel and unproductive.

[IronJack]

Moo hoo.

[Lopeover]

I agree with you, that some people from Mexico seem to have no respect for animal life.

Illegal aliens work cheap. Any business that employs them should be sued into bankruptcy.

Agreed. Animals are used for food and other products, it’s a fact of life and nature. It still does not excuse being abusive or brutal to them in the process. They’re going to get slaughtered anyway, why brutalize or torture them?

What do the dairy owners think of this? Pretty stupid to abuse animals that are providing the income for the dairy business. Sounds like some workers need to be fired.

[Spok]

How come undercover videos are okay at dairies but not Planned Parenthood?

[Capt_Hank]

I drive right by, Larson’s Dairy, on my way to the shooting range. You should see the “shanty shacks” for the help.

[snarkytart]

UGH I know I’m going to get slammed but the abortion comments in every thread about animal abuse is so aggravating.

Anyway, I agree that the culture the left wants to take over does not respect much of anything let alone animals. Same with the left’s worship of radical Islam just because they share a common enemy; Christians and the Western civilization.
Yet Islam does not respect women, gays etc.

[chris37]

I hate human beings who abuse animals.

And not just a little hate, a lot of hate.

[Kickass Conservative]

We send Horses to Mexico for Slaughter because it’s Illegal here.

Just sayin’...

They need to be fired asap. They’re clearly violent and unstable, and probably illegals.

[erlayman]

The best reason of all not to drink milk.

[Eyes Unclouded]

Plenty of videos of folks of all races abusing animals. Not sure what Hispanic/Anglo has to do with it.

Feel bad for those cows.

Well treated animals yield better products. Smart companies are waking up to branding advantage of quality.

So many people need the love of Jesus in their hearts.

[Puppage]

Excellent question

“How come undercover videos are okay at dairies but not Planned Parenthood?”

Good question.

>>>What do the dairy owners think of this?

It’s not just a cliche: contented cows give more milk. Abuse is a very bad work practice.
