Have You Seen MFA’s New Investigation Yet?

If not, please “think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.”



The footage that the Mercy for Animals (MFA) investigator captured is strikingly similar to what we uncovered less than six months ago at a Land O’Lakes dairy farm and provides even more evidence that animals who are exploited for their milk suffer through sickening amounts of cruelty and neglect.

MFA’s investigation revealed:
  • Cows were living in extremely crowded sheds on manure-coated concrete floors and suffered from bloody open wounds, swollen joints, prolapsed uteruses, and pus-filled infections.
  • “Downed” cows languished for weeks before dying or being killed.
  • Workers beat, kicked, and electric-shocked cows and calves.
  • A worker restrained calves by shoving his fingers into the babies’ eyes as their horns were burned off. These same calves also suffered through painful tail-docking. Both mutilations are done without any anesthetic.
  • Workers dragged newborn calves by their legs away from their distressed mothers.

Disgusted? Go vegan now. And share this investigation with everyone you know.

Stay loud!

    I couldn’t even finish watching this it made me SO sick.
    This is the most common question people often ask me about the dairy industry. Just because they produce milk doesn’t mean they aren’t tortured to get it.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
