"VANCOUVER — Animal cruelty charges have been recommended against eight workers at Canada's largest dairy farm after a video surfaced that shows workers kicking, beating and using chains on cows, the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says.
Mercy for Animals Canada says it shot the undercover video at Chilliwack Cattle Sales in Chilliwack, B.C., in May. The group has made headlines in recent months for videos showing calves in chains being beaten at a factory farm in Quebec as well as chicks being thrown, drowned, scalded to death and ground up alive at a hatchery in Hanover, Ont.
Officials with the SPCA said Criminal Code charges were recommended for willfully causing "unnecessary pain, suffering and injury" after their officers viewed the footage and visited the 3,500-cow farm last week.
"The images in the undercover video are extremely disturbing and highlight an urgent need for better standards to protect farm animals in B.C. from abuse and neglect," chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty said."
There's a video at the link, but I could only make it about 20 seconds in before I nearly got ill. Warning - video is HARD TO WATCH!
