Modern Day Farming

Picture a farm. You’re likely seeing rolling hills of green grass dotted with a few dozen cows. What most Americans don’t know is that the typical small family farm now breeds thousands of animals and confines them in horrendous living conditions. Drone footage of this Costco farm revealed over 20,000 hutches designed to imprison baby cows and separate them from their mothers. There are as many calves on this one farm as there are humans in the entire city.

Confinement

Calves were confined in hutches so small they could barely turn around. They live in these hutches their entire childhood, never let out to run or play.

Greed

The farm owners live nextdoor in a $1.7 million mansion with a pool, tennis court, and boat. Profiting off of the backs of baby animals they tear away from their mothers.

Death

DxE investigators found a mass graveyard with bodies of cows piled on top of one another. This is the only place babies and mothers were seen together.

Rescued from a Prison

Nick was emaciated as a result of being torn away from his mother at birth and deprived of essential nutrients. According to a veterinarian who examined Nick, his condition would have killed him if he had remained on the farm.

Carried to freedom

DxE investigators lifted Nick out of his wooden cage and carried him all the way to safety.

Road to recovery

When Nick was rescued, he was so malnourished you could see his ribs. He had to be fed 20% of his body weight daily until he recovered.

finding a family

Nick was given a forever home at a sanctuary where he finally gets to run and play with friends.
