Does this video give new meaning to the term "Don't play with your food"?
After viewing the Mercy For Animals footage, Dr. Temple Grandin, a world-renowned cattle welfare expert and adviser to the USDA, said: “The handling of both the calves and cows was atrocious animal abuse. These people were deliberately torturing animals and their behavior was totally sickening.”

Whoa Whoa Whoa! Slow your roll there Dr. Temple Grandin. “Atrocious”, “Torturing”, “Sickening”??? Pretty steep words if you ask me. I mean, I wasn’t raised on a farm. So I don’t know what the standard protocol is for acceptable dairy cow punishment. If you watch the video, the guy was speaking in plain english when he told the cow to turn it’s head. Hell, I think he even said it several times. What did the cow think was going to happen to her when she didn’t listen? Color me naive, but seems like sticking a pitch fork in the cows neck or repeatedly beating it in the face with a crowbar would be perfectly acceptable. If you ask me, these farmers have learned a very valuable lesson: Don’t let anyone in with a video camera.
