Comments Off on Temple Grandin Thinks Conklin Dairy Farm Incident Is Rare
Dr. Temple Grandin, scientist who has worked with the animal agricultural industry to bring change to way animals raised for food and handled, spoke with Food Safety News on the Conklin Dairy Farm investigation that uncovered a worker beating and torturing a cow. Grandin feels these incidents are not the norm, as many activist insists.

But on the other hand, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle, between the animal rights advocates that say everything is an atrocity, to the industry who says everything’s just fine. I’ve worked in a lot of places. It’s somewhere in the middle. It’s a constant battle. You can’t under staff and overwork. Tired people are more likely to get angry, and so are overworked people.”
