fort an collins location is where chronic wasting disease started. this agency caused it to spread all over america. they put sheep in the wrong place and then put deer in there. this agency is the absolute pis. public satisfaction with it is at an all time low. this agency should be called the animal abuse, murder agency. to collaborate with industry which keeps sending out food that kills and injures one out of 4 people is not much help to america. you let animal profiteers get away with murder and horrific injury to animals. you give them seals of approval when we see videos of what goes on at these farms like th ecal maine farm in texas. An investigator with Mercy For Animals was hired by Conklin Dairy and recorded hidden camera video during a four-week undercover operation. The video shows several employees, including farm owner Gary Conklin, abusing cows for no apparent reason. A well-known farmer in central Ohio, Conklin is seen on the video repeatedly kicking a downer cow in the face. The most malicious acts in the video were conducted by Conklin Dairy employee Billy Joe Gregg, 25. Gregg not only body slammed and repeatedly and forcefully punched cows, but stabbed confined animals with pitchforks and ruthlessly struck them in the face with a metal bar. Gregg was seen on the video telling the investigator how much he loved beating the animals. Gregg was taken into custody yesterday and arraigned this morning, facing 12 counts of animal cruelty. No charges have been brought as yet against the farm owner or the other employees, and presumably the farm is still operating. Gary Conklin issued a statement yesterday after the video came to light. "Our family takes the care of our cows and calves very seriously," Conklin said. "The video shows animal care that is clearly inconsistent with the high standards we set for our farm and its workers, and we find the specific mistreatment shown on the video to be reprehensible and unacceptable."
