Target: Adam H. Putnam, Commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Goal: Call for the closure of a farm where cows were allegedly beaten with rods and kicked in the head.
An undercover video taken at a Florida dairy farm appears to show multiple cows getting kicked in the head and struck with rebar wielded by farm employees. In the disturbing footage, the animals at Larson Dairy appear to be hit multiple times as they are forced into cramped milking stalls. Other cows in the video appear to be too weak to stand on their own power. We must demand justice for these innocent animals.
According to the narrator on the video, the footage shows that “dairy supervisors and milkers beat, stab and torment dairy cows with steel construction rebar,” and that “the sharp metal rods pierce and penetrate the cows’ bodies.” If these allegations are found to be true, this farm must be prevented from continuing its operations.
Reports of similar abuse are sadly all too common in the dairy industry. If these animals are to have any hope for a brighter future, we must take a stand and demand that the authorities overseeing this industry take action. Sign this petition to demand that Larson Dairy be shut down immediately if these allegations are proven to be true.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Putnam,
A number of cows appear to have been maliciously beaten as shown on an undercover video taken at a farm in Okeechobee County. The footage allegedly shows farm workers at Larson Dairy kicking cows in the head and beating them with metal rods to force them into their milking stalls. If these allegations are true, this farm must not be allowed to continue its abusive practices.
Similar cases of abuse are known to occur far too often in the dairy industry, and in far too many cases the perpetrators go unpunished. We urge you to take a stand for these innocent creatures. Please ensure that a full investigation of this farm takes place and that it is shut down if any of these allegations are found to be true.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The small family farms were loving and humane.
It’s never humane to exploit an animals reproduction system over and over and over again. those cows in those small family farms you speak up ends up going to the slaughterhouse s to be killed after a year of being exploited for their milk that belongs to their babies taken from birth

If U, the farmer n family, feel its just dandy to treat these cows as u do..I’d like to see u in their shoes for 2-3 days.. full 24 hr days!!!

Bring back small farmers and stop this cruelty. What bothered me besides the horrible torture of the animals..is who would even work there? If you have a fraction of a soul, you would never do this … never.
If u want a eye opener read Food Fix, by Mark Hyman,Md. Industrial farming is the greatest threat to climate change. Educatiin is everything!
Stop the abuse. Animals are a gift from God. What is wrong with people these days. Humans suck!
Hate animal cruelty 😡. Especially people

Fun of
Vegans.
Stop the torture of these beautiful animals. Prosecute to the fullest and that will never be enough.
So sad, I hope they get shut down and prosecuted
Please prosecute these evil people
How does a human go to work everyday and get the idea to abuse an innocent animal, cowards do to a creature that can’t defend themselves, how about these scum bags get taken into the wild, and people watch him try and do this to a lion or tiger or wild boar… I hope they get EVERY part of karma they deserve, damn devils.
All animals deserve love respect kindness gentleness and to be lovingly cared for! Stop eating and hurting Gods special creatures!
I hope you are all beaten and tortured the same way.
It’s not hard to be a good human. These animals provide us with nutrition and food. The least you could do was treat them with respect. I hope you all feel this wrath of karma.
