Fair Oaks Farms Apologizes After Video Surfaces Of Workers Abusing Calves; 4 Employees Fired
[CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] The owners of an Indiana dairy farm are apologizing after undercover video released by an animal rights group showed workers kicking, beating and throwing around newborn calves.

The video was filmed at Fair Oaks Farms, a popular destination for school field trips and tourists about 75 miles southeast of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
The video was filmed by a member of Animal Recovery Mission, which had an undercover investigator get a job at Fair Oaks Farms from August to November of last year in order to expose animal cruelty.

The footage shows workers dragging calves by their ears, including off the side of a farm cart, throwing calves into small plastic isolation hutches, hitting calves with milk bottles, kicking calves, beating them with branding irons and steel rebar, and force-feeding the animals to the point they can’t breathe.

Workers are also seen piling dead calves onto farm vehicles and throwing them in mass dump sites.

The video also shows filthy conditions in the calves’ pens, overcrowded transport trucks, and temperature readings of more than 100 inside their hutches.

Animal Recovery Mission claims supervisors and owners at Fair Oaks were aware of and even took part in the animal abuse.

Jewel-Osco said the grocery store chain is removing all Fairlife products from its shelves in response to the video. Fairlife is owned by Fair Oaks founder Mike McCloskey and gets its dairy from Fair Oaks Farms.

"At Jewel-Osco we strive to maintain high animal welfare standards across all areas of our business and work in partnership with our vendors to ensure those standards are upheld. We apologize for any inconvenience," spokeswoman Mary La Belle Frances Trucco stated in an email.

In a statement, Fair Oaks Farms said five individuals were identified from the video, four of them Fair Oaks employees and the fifth a third-party truck driver who was picking up calves. The company said three of the four employees were fired before the video was released after co-workers caught them abusing animals and reported them to management. The fourth was fired on Tuesday after the ARM video was released.

As for the truck driver, Fair Oaks said he will not be allowed on their farms again.

"I am disgusted by and take full responsibility for the actions seen in the footage, as it goes against everything that we stand for in regards to responsible cow care and comfort. The employees featured in the video exercised a complete and total disregard for the documented training that all employees go through to ensure the comfort, safety and well-being of our animals," Fair Oaks founder Mike McCloskey stated.

#4  A perfect skin tight shrink wrap should have no measurable effect resulting from air pressure though thermoregulation would problematic.

The problem in this case is that there are pockets of air under low pressure within the wrap that create an unnatural external pressure differential between the head and the body below the neck.

People do seem to forget that air pressure on earth is a force of non-trivial magnitude.

#9  "So-called 'Menstrual Extraction' was first described by feminist activists Lorraine Rothman and Carol Downer in the 1970s as a way to perform an at-home abortion before Roe v Wade.

They described how to construct a contraption - called a Del Em - using a syringe, a cannula, a speculum, and a jar.

Once abortions became legal across the US, 'ME' was largely sidelined.

But as Mic reported in 2016, it has seen a resurgence in popularity, this time being pitched as a method to end periods early."

Re-purposing can be a beautiful thing...but not in this case.

Incredible D-Day heroics of Star Trek actor 'Scotty' revealed: How Lt. James Doohan led his men safely across Juno Beach and took out two German snipers before becoming known as 'craziest pilot in the Canadian air force'

#1  Looking at the pictures... the road with the tornado looks vaguely familiar, I think it's along the levee, either between I-10 and the LSU area or south of the LSU area.

There's also pictures of I-10 through Baton Rouge made impassable by flooding, as opposed to normally, when it's just impassable due to crazy traffic.

Jury awards $11M to Gibson bakery from Oberlin
Posted by: lord garth || 06/07/2019 17:53 || Comments || Link || [1 views] Top|| File under:

#1  The verdict sends a strong message that colleges and universities cannot simply wind up and set loose student social justice warriors and then wash their hands of the consequences. In this case, a wholly innocent 5th-generation bakery was falsely accused of being racist and having a history racial profiling after stopping three black Oberlin College students from shoplifting. The students eventually pleaded guilty, but not before large protests and boycotts intended to destroy the bakery and defame the owners. The jury appears to have accepted that Oberlin College facilitated the wrongful conduct against the bakery.

Bloody well grand! More of us Americans need to sue the shit out of this leftist racists.

#6  According to the Washington Examiner, the good admiral was appointed in 2016.

Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harley took over as president of the Newport, Rhode Island, college in July 2016. The college, which grooms senior officers, faces a budget deficit of about $5 million. Harley approved about $750,000 in raises in the same year, according to the Associated Press.

President Obama blighted everything he touched, as far as I can tell.

China's food supply imperiled
[AmericanThinker] China’s food supply is being imperiled as new reports warn that up to 50 percent of China’s 440 million pigs are now at risk from African Swine Fever infection.

...Geopolitical Futures emphasizes that China’s food supply is also being endangered due to other developing risks. The Fall Armyworm has spread to 220,000 acres (89,000 hectares) in Southern China, ruining primarily corn and some sugar cane crops. With no natural predators in China, the USDA warned "there is a high probability that the pest will spread across all of China’s grain production area within the next 12 months."

Pentagon eyes rare earth supplies in Africa in push away from China
[DAWN] The US Department of Defence has held talks with Malawi’s Mkango Resources Ltd and other rare earth miners across the globe about their supplies of strategic minerals, part of a plan to find diversified reserves outside of China, a department official said on Wednesday.

The push comes as China threatens to curb exports to the United States of rare earths, a group of 17 minerals used in a plethora of military equipment and high-tech consumer electronics.

Although China contains only a third of the world’s rare earth reserves, it accounts for 80 per cent of US imports of minerals because it controls nearly all of the facilities to process the material, according to US Geological Survey data.

"We are looking for any source of supply outside China. We want diversity. We don’t want a single-source producer," Jason Nie, a material engineer with the Pentagon’s Defence Logistics Agency, said on the sidelines of the Argus US Speciality Metals conference in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
The DLA, which buys, stores and ships much of the Pentagon’s supplies - ranging from minerals to air plane parts to zippers for uniforms - has also held talks with Burundi’s Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd about future supply, as well as offered to introduce the several US rare earth projects under development with potential financiers, Nie said.

"We can make connections," he said.
