In many industries there are always extremes. Consider all those series about restaurants and the famous chef trying to right them. Really, how are some of those places in business? How are inspectors not fired? After all its clearly convincing that some of them are a threat to both customer and employee.

So it goes with farming. However having grown up around this industry I do know that farmers themselves do not tolerate suffering of animals in their care, and regardless if they are dairy or meat, they are in your care. You are also on the lookout for conditions that will get you fined or shutdown.

So my bias when it comes to this article is this, if the evidence is so convincing then where are the inspectors? Where is the government? Surely something so exaggerated must deserve immediate attention!

Sadly, considering the names of some of involved organizations I dismiss their stories immediately. Especially anyone dealing with PETA and similar. Groups whose only interest is headlines and are more than willing to ignore abuses to animals in government run shelters, if not their own run facilities.
