Description of Abuse from Investigating Organization:
A Mercy For Animals undercover investigator exposed sadistic animal abuse while working at Wiese Brothers Farms—a former dairy supplier to Nestlé. The hidden-camera video shows:
- Workers viciously kicking, beating, and violently whipping cows in the face and body
- Sick or injured cows suffering from open wounds, infections, and injuries left to suffer without proper veterinary care
- Workers dragging cows by their fragile legs and necks using chains attached to a tractor
- Filthy conditions, including feces-covered floors that caused cows to regularly slip, fall, and injure themselves
- Baby calves being dragged away from their mothers immediately after birth and having their tails docked without any painkillers
