You realize that it's a small portion of the workers that do such a thing? I'm sure if the owner of the farm found out, then they'd be fired really really quick. That's the farmer's money they're fucking with.

Yep:
Tyson Foods Drops Pig Farm - Business Insider
Tyson released a statement saying the company is "extremely disappointed by the mistreatment shown in the video and will not tolerate this kind of animal mishandling."

"We are immediately terminating our contract with this farmer and will take possession of the animals remaining on the farm," the company said. "We’re serious about proper animal handling and expect the farmers who supply us to treat animals with care and to be trained and certified in responsible animal care practices."

The response is always so gratifying when there's a video.

yes
Corporate farming is cruel
The meat taste less good
The meat has less vitamins and other stuff
Its unhealthy, if you think about the hormons and drugs
And it distroys our envirement

Now is the question, wHY do we do it? - cause some people make a fast dollar with it and we THINK its less expensive

We had big problems with Indonesia and live cattle exports to them. It was revealed that the beasts were being mal treated by a number of halal abattoirs there. So we stopped live exports in the short term until they fixed their act.

Many of the farmers here said that once they left our shores they are no longer our responsibility.

I very strongly disagree, if the farmers are aware their beasts are being abused, even after sale and permit it, they should not be in business. If you do not have the respect for beasts that die to put money in your bank and food on your plate to feed you. Then take up vege farming instead.
