My grandparents had a dairy farm that I spent summers on growing up. All the animals were treated well and the dairy cows all had names. They had huge fields to roam in and seemed happy all the time. We would ring a bell at the barn and they would come in from the field for milking and feeding and stayed at night in the barn. Some farmers have now started using these water beds designed for the cattle to lay on, and they produce more milk.
On my grandparents farm the cows were very friendly. As a matter of fact, one time, we were like 12 or 13, we camped out by an apple tree in a pasture not normally used. Well, the cows were let out early in the morning. They came around the apple tree and I was sleeping and I felt this huge wet tounge lick up my entire arm. To wake up and see a bunch of cows standing around. It seemed like they were worried because we looked dead and were trying to wake us up like dogs will do sometimes.
There is a lot more to animals that most people think. They deserve to be treated properly. I hope this video is sent to the authorities.
I agree with some poster above. I feel like going on a mission like the military days. These people need taken care of. The owner of the farm was in the video beating a cow as well, so it is bad. The cows won't cooperate because of the way they are treated. And since they beat them for it, it grows worse through time!

I was raised on Farms and Ranches. That video is staged, period end of subject.
You do the least little thing to Dairy Cows and they stop producing or produce less. The owner would have stomped their heads on the way out the door.
I'm guessing the maker of the video got some of their own hired and when the real peoples back were turned they abused the animals to make that video.
There must be others here like me who know the truth. Dairy Cows are treated like pampered pets. The same person even milks them every time they are milked. Milkers have a horrible job, they work a split shift 365 days a year and take no days off. They are well paid because of this. When you switch Milkers it takes weeks for the Cow to come back up to full production they are so sensitive to change.
In fact, I'm so sure of this, I'm stating right now that the videographer staged this somehow and that is a fact.

They're afraid, feel like they are out of control of there world.
So they act in a way that makes them feel like they've got clear control of if not over there own life then something else.
Its the same as bullies, child abusers and authority figures.
I pity them to be that weak

experienced. I am not saddened, nor sickened, nor outraged, nor
disgusted...
My first emotion was blind rage...I wanted to find this evil *****r and break
his bones...feel them break...hear him cry for mercy and then break some
more.
Do this make me a bad man?
