The Issue

Mercy for Animals video-taped the torture of what is going on there.

--Workers bludgeoning calves in their skulls with pickaxes and hammers – often involving 5 to 6 blows, sometimes more – before rendering the animals unconscious
--Beaten calves, still alive and conscious, thrown onto dead piles
--Workers kicking downed calves in the head, and standing on their necks and ribs
--Calves confined to squalid hutches, thick with manure and urine buildup, and barely large enough for the calves to turn around or fully extend their legs
--Gruesome injuries and afflictions, including open sores, swollen joints and severed hooves
--Ill, injured and dying calves denied medical care
--The budding horns of calves burned out their skulls without painkillers

There is no need for this kind of toture implemented on innocent animals who are undergoing tremendous pain at the hands of people who must enjoy doing this type of thing to an innocent animal.
