Canada’s Largest Dairy Factory Farm to Plead Guilty to Animal Cruelty Following MFA Investigation
Earlier today, counsel for Chilliwack Cattle Sales, one of its owners, and three of its employees stated in court that they will be pleading guilty to charges of animal cruelty at the next hearing on December 15.
These prosecutions follow a Mercy For Animals undercover investigation showing dairy workers viciously kicking, punching, and beating animals with chains, metal pipes, canes, and rakes; sick and injured cows suffering from oozing infections and gruesome injuries; and workers gleefully poking and squeezing festering wounds, ripping clumps of hair out of cows’ sensitive tails, and punching bulls in the testicles.
Chilliwack Cattle Sales, Canada’s largest dairy factory farm, and one if its owners will be convicted of violating the BC Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. In addition, three workers will also be convicted. Although the terms of sentencing have not been announced, Mercy For Animals urges the Chilliwack Law Court to sentence these animal abusers to the fullest extent of the law.
This case graphically reveals the horrific cruelty and extreme neglect that dairy cows suffer on Canadian factory farms. The dairy industry has proven that it is incapable of self-regulation.
(You only have to look at how it went for banks in 2008, to realize that self-regulation is a joke)
