Undercover Video Reveals Cruelty to Dairy Cows (Again!), Forces Shutdown of CA Slaughterhouse
USDA regulators suspended operations at a Hanford, CA dairy-cow slaughterhouse on Monday, after receiving video documentation of rampant cruelty within the facility. Like other recent dairy cruelty scandals brought to light by undercover video, this ugly incident brings the true motive behind ag-gag legislation into sharp focus: any time people see what industrial agriculture does to living things, they are rightfully appalled! This latest example of dairy cruelty also offers an opportunity for consumers to reflect on what is for some an uncomfortable truth: the dairy industry is riddled with hideous and unjustifiable animal cruelty, whatever ‘humane’ label advertisers may slap on the package.
