Undercover investigations at a California organic dairy farm revealed shocking mistreatment of newborn calves. The footage showed workers pinning the calves down, hitting them, and swearing at them as they struggled to stand and nurse. The abuse was so severe that some calves were unable to walk properly or even lie down comfortably.

The farm, which claims to be committed to animal welfare and ethical farming practices, has been the subject of previous complaints about mistreatment of animals. Activists are calling for an investigation and stricter regulations to ensure the well-being of animals on organic farms. The footage has sparked outrage and has raised concerns about the treatment of animals in the dairy industry, even on supposedly organic farms that pride themselves on their ethical standards.
