As promised in today's Weekly,, here is the HSUS video of the workers at Westland Meat Co. abusing "downer" cattle in an effort to get them to stand up so they can be killed.

Many of the cattle depicted are dairy cows. Farmers cull dairy cows each year to maintain high levels of milk production.

Warning the video is graphic.

And if the video has depressed you, check out this classic Dana Lyon's song abut cow rebellion: Cows with Guns.
