  1. One of these things is not like the other…

    I’m not entirely sure that cows understand swearing.

  2. 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.

    ugh I hate this kind of thing, cows are sensitive animals, I’ve been teetering on the edge of vegetarianism too long I think. What kind of person can hit an animal like this?

  4. 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.

    Today’s breaking news: man swears on farm… I don’t think the cows are offended.
