Disgusting abuse of calves at farm

[bluewanda]

I hope all the evil scum in this video get what’s coming to them. Absolute bastards and oxygen thieves.

Is this the Muller products farm?

At the time in November 2025, the farm was a member of RSPCA Assured, which vouches for farms that meet animal welfare standards.

Two Pools also supplied Marks & Spencer – though it is no longer a supplier – and the German dairy company Müller.

M&S inspected the farm on November 18, 2025. Footage filmed hours before appeared to show workers kicking days-old calves, removing a dead calf using a loader and padding the rubber-floored pens with extra straw.

‘This could look really bad,’ one farmhand told another.

The inspection lasted 10 minutes. Less than a minute later, a worker allegedly struck a calf’s face with a feeding tube.

Oh my god this has upset me!! Evil humans - I hope they will be named and shamed and savked!!

Vile abuse, how they can go home to their families and sleep at night I don't know. Empty hollow cruel people, to literally babies whose only fate is to either be eaten or be dairy cows if they're female and continue the cycle, pregnant constantly and no time with their calves. I remember on a hen do in Ireland we heard the cows and calves separated and shouting for each other, was harrowing. Such a basic deep biological natural thing made intonfactory farming is just vile. And before anyone asks I don't eat meat and don't drink dairy.

Horrible. If this were dogs people would be up in uproar but because it’s farm animals they’ll avert their eyes.

I hate it when I see people describe these types of low lives as animals. Animals are far superior to these scumbags.

Horrendous and sad to read.

I, and others I know, have filmed this stuff undercover as part of animal rights campaigning. Unfortunately it’s not that uncommon. All this RSPCA assured, red tractor crap doesn’t really mean anything. Farming animals is often brutal for them even with ‘good’ practices, add in people like this and it’s worse. People say they care but they don’t really.

Vile abuse, how they can go home to their families and sleep at night I don't know.

I hope they have the shittest lives imaginable 🤞🤞🤞 Cunts

Vile. Surely there’s someone on the whole of Mumsnet that knows what can be done about this. Maybe a petition against the rspca. Didn’t someone quit the rspca over the unethical treatment they allow on there assured food?

No idea why @mnhq have hidden my comment thanking @PetStuff for their work exposing these sub-humans. Can you explain and reinstate it please @mnhq?

Brian May and Chris Packham have both cut ties I think. The RSPCA do some good work, but personally I don’t support them. They don’t protect animals in the way they should imo.

Reason I don’t eat meat. No part of that process is going to be nice is it. Even if they aren’t abused, which I think we can safely say most are.
If you eat meat, how many of you would choose to work in a slaughter house? Or to watch what happens or take part in it- not many!

If you work in a slaughter house, there’s no need to abuse animals. I don’t get why people act like it’s inevitable that animals are abused in these environments (not saying you are personally BTW - this is a general comment).

I support a charity called Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) they do a lot of campaigning globally to ensure the same and humane farming of animals. They go to Westminster a lot with campaigns and get supporters like myself to email local MPs and sign petitions. You can contact them about your concerns. They have a campaign called End The Cage Age, to stop mother pigs being imprisoned in cages and hens. It’s definitely worth a look into. They have some great ways that you can help and it may well be worth contacting them with your concerns about RSPCA assured farms.

Op, this is their website if you would like to see what they do:
cows.org.uk

ciwf.org.uk

bloody predictive texting!

They are only in these horrendous conditions because people continue to eat meat and look away from the horrors of what happens in slaughterhouses.

If you really care about this go vegan

They’re not “only” in these situations for that reason. People that work on farms don’t HAVE to slap calves around the face with feeding tubes, swear at them and kick them. They could treat them humanely. They have a choice.

Thank you. I will have a look.

It’s ciwf.org.uk not cows
bloody predictive texting🥴

And you’re welcome!

If people didn’t eat meat there would be no reason to have slaughterhouses or farmed animals. So yes, it is the ”only’ reason. If taking milk that is meant for calves for humans to drink, or slaughtering animals for people to eat, it’s all abuse. It’s a bit rich being angry at people abusing farmed animals, and then buying them to eat.
