Well there goes my vegan supper!! Thank you for the link to the story. I watched the video, it is sad and disgusting to watch. I grew up on a dairy farm and can honestly say I hate cows. Hate them. But I would never harm them. One time, well there were lots of times, I was kicked by a cow & her hoof caught the underside of my knee cap and separated it from the rest of my leg. oh yeah it hurt. like instantly.

I have been in farming country all my life and there are strange people who farm. We had a case here recently where pigs were hung and tortured and.... the farmer was in court and got off... with no fines no nothing. Wrong Wrong Wrong.

Stop eating meat. If you can't do that... educate yourself. If you won't educate yourself and change your buying practices... then write letters. Lots of letters. Even letters to the farmers on the film and maybe someone is a good skip tracer and can find their family not on the farm... then write them too. Shame is a powerful tool. I hope the farm is made an example of, but if we as consumers don't change... then we are basically giving them our stamp of approval.
