Secret footage exposes abuse of calves at Coca-Cola affiliated dairy farm

US attraction Fair Oaks Farms Dairy Adventure accused of animal rights violations

Undercover footage showing young dairy calves being kicked, violently thrown, having their heads stamped into the ground and suffering from heat exposure at a US farm known as the "Disneyland of agricultural tourism" was published this week.

"Calves can be seen struggling to breathe and are observed suffering by themselves within their hutches," according to a report by Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), the campaigners behind the footage. "With temperatures reaching to as high as 110F [43C] in summer, dehydration and malnutrition are also possible factors leading to calves suffering and slowly dying at Fair Oaks Farms."
