Ohio dairy farm worker charged with animal cruelty

nah, i think i'll cook up some dead cow.

 

he should be shot in the face with a 12 gauge.

 

Disgusting. Unfortunately it does go on all the time and people are not caught and the punishment is just not there even when caught.

 

cameras may be a solution
those fuckers won't even dare to do shit in front of camera

 

Do you mean the owners' of the farms don't justify any rules?
Now maybe they should send a certified inspection personnel to review the entire livestock and farm facilities. Anyone know anything else ??

 

Well in this case it appears that not only did the owner know but participated as well.

Animal abuse goes on all the time. This time it was caught but many times it is not. Most farmer do not abuse their stock as it is their livelihood. It is like all else in life there are always idiots....

The problem in part is the the penalties are not stiff enough for doing it in the first place. The reforms to the law will help to make it more punishable but someone who is demented enough to do that to an animal would do it anyways regardless of the punishment.

You can not legislate decency or common sense.

 

No, but they could legalize the beating of animal abusers...

 

I hear you, but you are not allowed to beat dumb animals and that is what animal abusers are.

 

No, they are mean dumb animals... If I had a dog that kept attacking and harming other animals, even though I love dogs, I would put it down.

I don't love the people who abuse animals, they get less consideration then a dog I felt had to be put down.

 

The system is set up that the abuser has rights. Just like any other cases of abuse.

We had in this area a horse farmer and what was found when they went in was sickening. The upshot was he was fined, jailed for 6 months and not allowed to own horses again. Let alone the puppy mills in the area that are being raided all the times and they shut one down and another one opens in days.

The laws need to be changed, that is a given. I don't reality believe though that it will stop people from doing it. The mentality of those who abuse is not going to change because of any law.

 

Just imagine how fun a show like Rescue Ink could be if you were allowed to beat animal abusers...

 

Just imagine trying to get that passed as law.

 

Surely they won't change not if they're being monitored throughout the work place. This fight seems to be a stagnate one though....

 

It is not physically possible to monitor all farmers. As I said most do not do this as their animals are their money.

You also can not without a legal reason just walk on to someones property and have a look around. Usually there have to be complaints and then it is followed up.

A big part of stopping abuse of animals is for people to step up and report it. The owner did not even report it or terminate the employees who did it, instead he took his fair swing.

It is a mentality issue and I honestly believe that all that can be done is to punish after the fact. Sadly that does nothing for the animals that have been abused. There are not many other options available.

 

Even if it were possible to monitor all farms... would you want to?

Its a couple of simple steps from there, to "1984".

 

I was gonna tip a cow once, but I didnt like the service..

Full grown cows can be rather disagreeable bastards. Of course, that does NOT excuse any mistreatment of them, but by comparison, I've never met a calf that was anything but sweet....

Maybe they'll get swung around by their ears while their tail bones are broken in prison?

 

We need a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from the universal nature and living by complicated artifice. man in civilization surveys the creatures through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.


We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. and therein we err, for the animal shall not be measured by man. in a world older and more complete than ours they moved finished and complete. Gifted with extensions of senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings, they are nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and times, fellow prisoners of the spendour and travail of the earth.
