Kühe auf Farmen, die M&S und Muller beliefern, werden in schockierenden Filmaufnahmen getreten, geschlagen, mit Ketten geschlagen und beschimpft | The Independent

Yes, **but** with Marks & Spencers, it was only the finest levels of abuse.

Seventy years ago providing society with cheap agricultural staples like milk was seen as key for the government in preventing many of the issues faced like malnourishment & starvation. These days the world has changed and cheap milk & meat have become a major cause of obesity & ill-health.

I don’t see why this surprises or shocks people, the only reason it seems “rare” is because occasionally someone sneaks a camera in, the people being filmed aren’t aware, then that person leaks the footage or sends it to someone. All of those three things need to happen for it to be made public.

Stuff like this is fairly commonplace, and arguably by no means the worst thing to happen in the slaughter house – the actual process is fairly grisly.

I don’t see why anyone who cares about this isn’t a vegan.

Kicks didn’t bother the cows but some of those insults really cut deep!

Industry built upon animal cruelty is found to be cruel to animals.
