Kicked, tortured and pushed behind steel bars that immobilize them without allowing the slightest movement. This is the treatment reserved for South Florida cows and documented in yet another shock video.
Kicked, tortured and pushed behind steel bars that immobilize them without allowing the slightest movement. This is the treatment reserved for cows from South Florida and documented in yet another shock video.
We will never get used to these images. A unprecedented violence against animals already doomed to death. The video shows what was filmed by an Animal Recovery Mission volunteer, who undercover entered one of America's dairy and slaughter cow farms.
Cows hit with steel bars and kicked while they are already suffering in small milking cages. A man in boots does not hesitate to hurt one, another to hit a cow he has recently given birth.
The kennel is owned by Jacob Larson and is called precisely Larson Dairy Farm, but the manager himself said in a statement that he was unrelated to the facts and that the behavior highlighted in the video 'will not be tolerated'.
Meanwhile, a criminal investigation has been opened for animal abuse and mistreatment and the chain of Publix supermarkets which has over a thousand locations in America, has suspended all deliveries of raw milk that come from this farm. Here is their tweet:
We are aware of the undercover video taken at Larson Dairy and are shocked and disturbed by the cruelty shown toward the animals. We are suspending raw milk deliveries from that farm. We are also in contact with the FL Dept of Agriculture, and they have advised us they… 1/2

“Larson's dairy cows are harassed and milked three times a day, 305 days a year, for a lifetime. But not only do the guardians torment them with steel bars and mistreat them, ”says the narrator in the video.
Upon receiving the shock document, Okeechobee County Sheriff Noel Stephen vowed to clarify and punish those guilty of this kind of unacceptable behavior.
Watch the shock video:
The denunciation of the NGO that deals with animal rights also had the effect of a revolt in the world of the large chains that source their supplies from this farm. There are those who say they are shocked and disturbed by the cruelty, those who protested in front of the structure and those who showered the company with negative reviews.
We talked about intensive farming here:

"The sharp metal bars penetrate the bodies and the cows are brutalized," the video said again. Jacob Larson told The Associated Press that he had fired the employee involved. But which employee? According to the videos, at least three people are involved.
“The unusual use of force is simply unacceptable. We have strict protocols that establish animal care and clearly the behavior shown in this video goes against everything we are willing to tolerate ”.
