Well, it said they contact the DA, so this will be dealt with.
HOW?
Who the fuck knows. But it will be dealt with.

Shit like this disgusts me.

Veganism isn't the answer, however.

Um.. SFW? How about a short discription of WTF you're talking about?

From the site:
Chilling undercover footage recorded during a new Mercy For Animals investigation exposes dairy farm workers sadistically abusing cows and young calves.
Captured on hidden camera, the shocking scenes of abuse reveal a culture of cruelty at Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City, Ohio.

During a four-week investigation between April and May, MFA's investigator documented farm workers:

Violently punching young calves in the face, body slamming them to the ground, and pulling and throwing them by their ears
Routinely using pitchforks to stab cows in the face, legs and stomach
Kicking "downed" cows (those too injured to stand) in the face and neck – abuse carried out and encouraged by the farm's owner
Maliciously beating restrained cows in the face with crowbars – some attacks involving over 40 blows to the head
Twisting cows' tails until the bones snapped
Punching cows' udders
Bragging about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death
After viewing the footage, Dr. Bernard Rollin, distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, stated: "This is probably the most gratuitous, sustained, sadistic animal abuse I have ever seen. The video depicts calculated, deliberate cruelty, based not on momentary rage but on taking pleasure through causing pain to cows and calves who are defenseless."

Immediately upon completion of the investigation, Mercy For Animals contacted the City Prosecutor's Office of Marysville regarding the ongoing pattern of abuse at Conklin Dairy Farms. MFA is pushing for employees of the facility to be criminally prosecuted for violating Ohio's animal cruelty laws.

The deplorable conditions uncovered at Conklin Dairy Farms highlight the reality that animal agriculture is incapable of self-regulation and that meaningful federal and state laws must be implemented and strengthened to prevent egregious cruelty to farmed animals.

Although many of the abuses documented at Conklin Dairy Farms are sadistic in nature, numerous MFA undercover investigations at dairy farms, pig farms, egg farms, hatcheries and slaughterhouses have revealed that violence and abuse to farmed animals – whether malicious or institutionalized – runs rampant nationwide.

Compassionate consumers can end their direct financial support of farmed animal abuse by rejecting dairy, and other animal products, and adopting a vegan diet.

I'm not easily offended, but that was really hard for me to watch. That people like that exist in this world infuriates me to no end.

The article does not do the video justice, to anyone who didn't watch it.

Well the article itself was pretty horrible, so that's disturbing. I usually don't worry too much about animal rights, but this is revolting.

I'm all for eating meat, but there's no need for cruelty.

As for the OP, go listen to some Morissey then eat a bullet. It's the right thing to do for overly dramatic emo losers who hate life.

I found myself nodding in agreement with the article until the last line:


"Compassionate consumers can end their direct financial support of farmed animal abuse by rejecting dairy, and other animal products, and adopting a vegan diet."

Jesus. Humanely slaughtering cows for meat is fine, imo. But there's just no reason for cruelty. Really sickening shit right there.

However...
Compassionate consumers can end their direct financial support of farmed animal abuse by rejecting dairy, and other animal products, and adopting a vegan diet.

...I'd prefer to push my mayor, sheriff, DA, congressman, whoever to mercilessly punish the offenders. Because I'm not changing my diet. I do support local dairy farmers and ranchers over the large factory operations.

At least the prosecutors aren't sitting idle about it:
