"Nestle and Kraft already have adopted policies banning hitting, kicking or dragging animals "

"The advocacy group sent an undercover investigator to work at the farm between July 19 and Aug. 22, said Nick Cooney, director of education at Mercy for Animals. The undercover person was hired at the farm and wore a hidden camera while working.

The person performed all of the duties required for the job and tried not to engage in any of the abuse, Cooney said. The investigator did what he could not to arouse suspicion of fellow farmers.

"This is not an isolated incident," Cooney said. "This is representative of the kinds of treatment of animals at dairy farms across the country."

The video is one of six undercover investigations Mercy for Animals has conducted at dairy farms in the United States and one of more than 30 investigations into factory farms in the United States and Canada, Cooney said."
