Except that pretty much every video contains additional information about which facility it took place at, and the company that owns that facility. It would be pretty easy to falsify if the video was staged.
I imagine your friend's dairy farm is very well run, and the animals are treated well. That doesn't reflect what happens at larger industrial operations though.
- randomdata 14y agoActually, my friend's dairy is quite a bit larger than the average herd. It is not the largest operation that I know of, but its up there. I grew up on a small dairy operation myself and looking at other herds, the care doesn't really seem to degrade with scale. If anything, the care has improved because their scale affords more comfortable amenities that we could not afford. Today, I have my own very small hobby grain farm. The farm next door is run by quite possibly the largest producer in the province. Other than the fact that his tractors have considerably more horsepower, and the implements are significantly wider, we do everything exactly the same way. With that, I have to say that I fail to understand what "industrial farming" even means. With all that said, the media I have been exposed to has all been centred around the USA. Perhaps the US specifically has a real animal abuse problem on a grand scale. My exposure to farms in that country is admittedly limited. But if that is the case, why are we trying to take down the rest of the world with the faults of one country's policy on the matter?
