As a long time farmer, I have raised hogs, cattle, horses. chickens and turkeys.
I started watching that video of farm workers miss-treating animals but
I couldn't finish it...it was too disgusting. I always treated my animals with
respect and as kindly as possible. Those people should be imprisoned for
their cruelty and never allowed near animals EVER.

I am retired now but still live on my farm. No one can ever say that I
miss-treated my animals and I am proud to say so.
