I have not watched the video but I read something last night about it being BS.

Allegedly several people from the group that produced the video got jobs at FOF and were "abusing" the animals to get it on camera. They were eventually found out by the actual staff there.

Again, I haven't watched the video and have no clue if that is accurate.

A common tactic from that side as well. Create a disturbance or pay a worker to create a disturbance to put ag in a negative light.

The bottom end type worker in the video are the same type bottom end worker you'd find as part of subcontractor crews. They have no investment in the work they're doing and simply just there to punch the clock.

No industry is free of assholes.

ETA: It is of no benefit for any animal industry producer to practice bad husbandry practices. The managers of those farms have procedures in place to make sure animals are handled correctly under low stress. Stressed animals don't produce whether it is meat or milk.

The company put out a big statement apologizing and admitted it was their fault. They never mentioned anything about what you said.
