14Peacenow discovered 25 months ago- P LEASE GO SIGN THIS IT'S JUST SICK!! Stop Animal Abuse at Threemile Canyon Farms Demand Oregon's attorney general act to protect cows (Warning: This alert contains graphic descriptions and photos of animal abuse at Threemile Canyon Farms.) A report prepared by the Humane Farming Association (HFA) documents cruel and inhumane treatment of cows at Threemile Canyon Farms in Boardman, Ore., including statements from workers. Months ago, HFA filed a formal petition with Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers formally demanding criminal charges be brought against Threemile Canyon Farms for animal abuse. Yet in spite of extensive documentation, Myers has yet to take action. The extensive report documents widespread animal abuse. The report documents how some of the male calves are separated from their mothers at birth and left to starve to death. A worker reports, "Supervisors usually shoot unwanted male calves. They don't die right away. Some lie on the floor and bleed out. Some have lied for three hours and are still alive." The dairy reportedly also kills calves by bashing their heads in or by swinging the calf by its hind legs and pounding its head against the concrete floor. The report also documents how workers are told to slice off a section of a cow's teat without anesthetizing the animal. The cows' teats are susceptible to infection due to the concrete floors being covered with manure, urine and standing flush water. To make matters worse, workers report the massive farm continues to milk cows with infected teats, something workers first reported in a February 2005 article in the Portland Oregonian newspaper. One worker says "the blood and pus draining from the teat will go into the milk when the cow is milked." Another worker states, "The boss tells us to milk the cows even if they know the milk is bad. The milk will look like pieces of cheese." Yet in spite of worker statements, pictures and even video that the Humane Farming Association provided to Attorney General Myers, he has yet to take action to stop abuse at Threemile. The fact the state of Oregon previously provided $20 million to Threemile makes the state's inaction even more outrageous. The abuse has to stop now. Please join the United Farm Workers in supporting the Humane Farming Association's call to stop the cruelty at Threemile by demanding the Oregon attorney general initiate criminal charges against Threemile.

- I'm confused. Why would evil farmers waste bullets/wear out their guns to kill male calves? Shouldn't they just leave them out to starve? Or just kill them some less expensive way if they don't want them? That's evil, but shooting them just seems like an expensive cruelty. The site doesn't tell you WHY the farmers are doing this, it just rattles off a bunch of bad, nasty evil things. Why would the farmers cut off a cow's teat? It doesn't make sense, why would they make the milk they're producing bad? Isn't that the prime goal of an evil farmer, money at whatever cost? Why lose money to be cruel? I'd say everyone should send messages to the owners of the farm and tell them the supervisors are losing them money. Tell them to hire farmers that aren't so stupidly wasteful.
