Investigative Group, Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), just held a news conference in their home base of Florida. In it, they accused Fair Oaks Farms of  animal cruelty.

The farm produces dairy products for the Fairlife milk brand which is found at Walmart, Target and more. According to RTV6, in 2018 an undercover investigator with ARM “witnessed extreme abuse to animals at the Indiana farm, including workers dragging cows, throwing them into trucks, and hitting them with milk bottles.”

Additionally, the ARM undercover worker said sick cows weren’t treated and cows took ill to make milk were killed, but not quickly.

 

Fair Oaks Farms owner, Mike McCloskey, released his own statement in defense of the farm and its practices. He maintained that employees are encouraged to speak up if they suspect animal abuse.
