Undercover Investigations Exposing Animal Abuse

Chilling undercover footage recorded during a new Mercy For Animals investigation exposes dairy farm workers sadistically abusing cows and young calves. During a four-week investigation of Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City, Ohio between April and May, MFA's investigator documented farm workers: Violently punching young calves in the face; body slamming them to the ground, using pitchforks to stab cows in the face, legs and stomach; beating restrained cows in the face with crowbars -- some attacks involving over 40 blows to the head; twisting cows' tails until the bones snapped - all the while the workers were bragging about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death. Exposing the harms of the meat and dairy industry is nothing new to 'Justice, or Just Us?" Focusing on the very tactic of undercover investigations is new to the program, and it will be this show's topic. We'll discuss how MFA identifies sites for investigations, how the investigators maintain their cool while witnessing animal abuse, and perhaps most importantly - how activists can share this shocking footage to make a case for veganism without alienating otherwise sympathetic animal advocates. Guest: Matt Rice, Campaign Coordinator for Mercy for Animals.
