Bettencourt Dairies is the largest dairy factory farm in Idaho—one of the leading dairy-producing states. At this massive facility, a Mercy For Animals investigator documented:
- Workers and management viciously beating, kicking, punching, and shocking cows and violently twisting their tails in order to deliberately inflict pain
- Workers and management dragging a downed cow by her neck using a chain attached to a tractor
- Extremely unsafe and unsanitary conditions, including feces-covered floors that caused cows to regularly slip, fall, and injure themselves
- Sick or injured cows suffering from open wounds, broken bones, and infected udders left to suffer without proper veterinary care
