Description of Abuse from Investigating Organization:
Conklin Dairy was the site of some of the most sickening animal abuse ever documented by a Mercy For Animals investigator. Hidden-camera video footage shows 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 snap
- Punching cows’ udders
- Bragging about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death
