Farm Abuse

[MrSunshine]

Gives a whole new meaning to beating your meat.

I honestly cannot for the life of me believe (although I saw the clips) that people would wanna play whack a cow. Cows are so passive. WTF is wrong with people anymore?

Hopefully they will fine the shit out of them, put the guy in jail for a long time to set an example and everyone should boycott who they sell to. Then maybe these places will put in cams and manage them better.

Fuck a fine! These sick pricks need to be taken out of society. If you are demented enough to hurt animals you are a threat to society. It is only a matter of time before they snap. Aww poor cows.This is why I refuse to eat beef. Absolutely sickening

Well there goes my vegan supper!! Thank you for the link to the story. I watched the video, it is sad and disgusting to watch. I grew up on a dairy farm and can honestly say I hate cows. Hate them. But I would never harm them. One time, well there were lots of times, I was kicked by a cow & her hoof caught the underside of my knee cap and separated it from the rest of my leg. oh yeah it hurt. like instantly.

I have been in farming country all my life and there are strange people who farm. We had a case here recently where pigs were hung and tortured and.... the farmer was in court and got off... with no fines no nothing. Wrong Wrong Wrong.

Stop eating meat. If you can't do that... educate yourself. If you won't educate yourself and change your buying practices... then write letters. Lots of letters. Even letters to the farmers on the film and maybe someone is a good skip tracer and can find their family not on the farm... then write them too. Shame is a powerful tool. I hope the farm is made an example of, but if we as consumers don't change... then we are basically giving them our stamp of approval.

Loss of compassion and respect for other creatures...and also other people.

It's also interesting to note that one of the early signs of a budding sociopathic serial murderer is a history of abusing/mistreating animals.

I couldn't watch past the first 3 seconds, either. Something in my soul just sunk when I saw that.

G-d help us.

Good points but seriously do you have any idea how hard a cow's head is? These people are moronic! That would be like punching a brick wall.
By no means am I saying it's ok just because cow's are solid animals either.
I could just about scratch my own head bald when I hear stuff like this though, ya know.

they showed parts of the video on the news and I burst into tears...it was horrific....I saw more than I could stand and yet, in the full video there is still so much more torture..

Sachita...I am glad you posted your ideas on how to help stop abuse.

I am consumed by this today...this hits so close to home, spiritually. those poor animals. I watched babies being beaten and cows struggling to get away but couldnt get out of their reach.

I hope the prisoners who are housed with them are animal lovers...

crying now.. My God..

[Soft*Silver]

hitting a calf in the forehead is akin to pounding a human baby on his soft spot. Calves's skulls are not fully formed either and right where he was hitting it, is where their soft spot is...

someday we as a species are going to look back at this time in history and consider what we do to animals, a holocaust against animals. Someday we will walk with the animals again and appreciate and understand our connections and realize the indignitied and horrors we have done to them by elevating ourselves above them...

I'd like to point a small tidbit out, if theoddz doesn't mind...
Although it is true, this fact...
The reason they say "early signs" is, this is true If the sociopathic serial killer abused/tortured/mistreated animals during Childhood/early adolescence..

I've been slowly trying to return to Veganism, Unfortunately I can't go completely, my Diet requires a certain amount of Protein that supplements just can't cover, and to keep my Doctors at bay, I do eat the occasional meat..
Otherwise , I try to at Least be a pescetarian..

I find this horrific. But with that said, nothing surprises me with how human beings treat each other, or animals.
