BREAKING: Undercover Investigator Goes Public to Reveal Animal Cruelty on California Dairy Farm
After two years in the field, an investigator for Animal Outlook is emerging from her time undercover and revealing her identity. She's sharing her personal account of what she witnessed and documented at Dick Van Dam, a dairy factory farm in Southern California. The hard-hitting new video illuminates the all-too-common cruelty found on this facility that supplies brands across the nation.
This video will change the way you look at dairy--forever.
Injured or downed cows being lifted over a wall and dragged by chains and tractors using a painful “hip clamp"
Cows being violently kicked, jabbed and shocked by workers and a farm manager
Squalid conditions, including calves covered in flies and left to languish in the mud
...And much more.
After reviewing the investigation, the Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit against Dick Van Dam Dairy and the individuals caught on camera for violating state and local animal cruelty laws.
"I saw abuse and neglect every single day at this farm. I feel a special bond toward cows now because of it, and it will always stay with me. A part of me will always be with them as well."
