Whistleblower Images Show Cows’ Hooves Rotting, Bloody, and Overgrown
PETA • Jun 15, 2026
PETA obtained images and videos from a whistleblower showing cows suffering from rotting hooves, deep lesions, and overgrown hooves at B&D Dairy in Iowa. The whistleblower documented cows with broken legs left in pain, inadequate hoof care, and cows dying from pneumonia. These images highlight the suffering that the dairy industry tries to keep hidden.

The dairy industry's cruelty extends beyond concrete floors and includes separating newborn calves from their mothers and sending cows to slaughter when they are no longer deemed profitable. The industry subjects cows to a life of confinement, separation, and loss. PETA urges people to ditch dairy and go vegan to take a powerful step towards compassion for animals and the planet.
