Animal Cruelty At It's Worse: DiGiorno Pizza's Supplier Treating Cows Horribly (Stabbing, Kicking & Dragging Them) (*Warning* Graphic)

" McDonald's and Target dropped one of the 
nation's largest egg suppliers after an animal 
rights group released an undercover video of the 
egg producer's farms in three states.

McDonald's Corp. said Friday it had dropped 
Sparboe Farms as a supplier after a video by the 
group Mercy for Animals showed cases of animal 
cruelty at five facilities in Iowa, Minnesota and 
Colorado. Target Corp. soon followed, saying it 
would pull eggs from the Litchfield, Minn.-based 
company off its shelves.

"Having been made aware of the unacceptable 
conditions in the company's egg laying facilities, 
effective immediately, Target will discontinue its 
business relationship with Sparboe Farms," 
Minneapolis-based Target said in a statement late 
Friday.

Sparboe produces 300 million eggs a year, in 
regular, liquid, frozen and dried form, and ships 
them to restaurants and stores across the country. 
The company's Vincent, Iowa, plant had billed 
itself as the sole fresh egg supplier to every 
McDonald's west of the Mississippi River.

McDonald's officials say Sparboe was a 
"significant" supplier and that it was unclear 
when, or if, the company would work with the 
Golden Arches again. Sparboe's Iowa facility 
produced 2 million eggs a day, seven days a week.

That changed Friday when images shot by Mercy for 
Animals showed a worker swinging a bird around by 
its feet, hens packed into cramped cages, male 
chicks being tossed into plastic bags to suffocate 
and workers cutting off the tips of chicks' beaks.

"The behavior on tape is disturbing and completely 
unacceptable. McDonald's wants to assure our 
customers that we demand humane treatment of 
animals by our suppliers," Bob Langert, McDonald's 
vice president for sustainability, said in a 
statement.

The nation's largest retailer — Bentonville, Ark.-
based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. — also bought Sparboe 
eggs and has been demanding that suppliers treat 
their chickens humanely for years. Wal-Mart said 
it stopped working with Sparboe six weeks ago and 
that its decision had "nothing to do with animal 
welfare concerns," said Dianna Gee, a Wal-Mart 
spokeswoman. She declined to discuss why Sparboe 
was dropped.

McDonald's and other fast-food chains and grocery 
stores have been studying how chickens are caged 
and cared for in its egg farms. The Humane Society 
has persuaded several national food outlets, 
including Burger King, Costco Wholesale, Denny's 
and Wendy's/Arby's Group, to buy at least some of 
their eggs from producers that allow hens to roam.

McDonald's and Target's moves also followed a 
warning letter to Sparboe Farms dated Wednesday 
from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that 
said inspectors found "serious violations" at five 
Sparboe facilities of federal regulations meant to 
prevent salmonella. The warning said eggs from 
those facilities "have been prepared, packed, or 
held under insanitary conditions whereby they may 
have become contaminated with filth, or whereby 
they may have been rendered injurious to health."

McDonald's eggs were safe because they were cooked 
thoroughly, and none of its operations will be 
affected by Sparboe, company spokeswoman Lisa 
McComb said Saturday. About 27 million Americans 
eat at McDonald's each day.

Sparboe Companies LLC said Saturday it would 
create a task force to review the company's food 
safety and animal care." - AP

Phinn said prosecutors failed to prove that Jeffrey Bolger, 50, was responsible for the death of a 7-year-old Shar-Pei named Nala when he slit the dog's throat in June 2014.

Why is eating dogs any different from eating cows, pigs etc? Simple, dogs are purposefully tortured to death in China, cows, pigs, chickens etc are killed quickly and relatively painlessly, that's the difference.

Storm Chaser Films Cows Flying Through A Tornado!

At least 18,000 cows were just killed in a massive explosion at a dairy farm in Dimmitt, Texas. Firefighters rescued one employee from the South Fork Dairy as flames raced through a building and into holding pens as this was the deadliest barn fire for cattle in Texas history and the investigation has begun. But sadly even before this tragedy, these poor cows were living hellish lives, having been artificially inseminated, exploited for their milk, ripped away from their babies and forced to live in solitary confinement as if they were criminals. Sadly, while some cows were saved, they will likely be killed due to the extent of their injuries and this is not an isolated incident as most fires like these go unreported so people have no idea how bad things are in the utterly cruel factory farming industry.

Now summer holiday season is officially upon us, eco-tourism companies around the world are preparing to receive millions of nature-loving Brits hoping to interact with wild animals in their own environments. 

Most responsible travellers wouldnâ€™t dream of going to see blatantly cruel bear baiting or an orangutan boxing match while abroad, or even visit an animal circus or zoo because of concerns over animal welfare. 

But many would be quite happy to visit a tiger sanctuary, swim with dolphins or ride an elephant through the jungle. 

However, many seemingly ethical animal tourist activities can also bring tragic consequences for animals. 

Here are some which animal welfare groups are urging holidaymakers to avoid.
