A newly released Mercy For Animals investigation has revealed the hidden cruelty common in the dairy industry at the largest dairy factory farm in New York State - Willet Dairy in Locke. In a joint statement, internationally renowned experts, including Dr. Bernard Rollin, an expert witness on animal welfare issues in the U.S. and abroad, and Dr. Temple Grandin, a world-renowned cattle welfare expert and advisor to the USDA, compared the conditions documented at Willet to the infamous Hallmark slaughterhouse, where undercover video exposing abuse of downed cows resulted in the largest beef recall in US history. They state, "This dairy presents at least as bad a picture of the industry as does Hallmark."
New York
veterinarian, Dr. Holly Cheever, bluntly stated, "(I)t is my
professional opinion that the environment that this dairy provides as
well as its cattle-handling techniques are improper, unhygienic,
dangerous, and inhumane."
