Mercy For Animals released another undercover investigation, this time looking into E6 Cattle Co. in Hart, Texas.  Not surprisingly their investigation showed egregious abuses such as, workers bludgeoning calves with pickaxes and hammers, injured calves denied medical care, unsanitary and deplorable conditions for the animals to live in, and more.

From Mercy For Animals:

Upon reviewing the undercover footage, Temple Grandin, PhD, animal welfare advisor to USDA, declared: “It is obvious that both the management and the employees have no regard for animal welfare.”

Following the undercover investigation, MFA alerted law enforcement authorities to violations of Texas anti-cruelty law at E6 Cattle, and presented a detailed legal complaint and meticulously compiled evidence of such violations to the Castro County District Attorney and sheriff. The evidence demonstrated an ongoing pattern of torture, unjustifiable infliction of pain and suffering on animals, and a failure to provide necessary medical care. The case is currently under investigation.

Please think about the power of your choices and reject the use of sentient beings as food.
