Another undercover video of animal abuse has surfaced, this time it’s an Ohio dairy farm. The animal rights organization Mercy For Animals released undercover video shot at the Conklin Dairy Farm near Plain City, Ohio that quite honestly is disturbing and reaction from around the country, from farmers and agricultural organizations range from outrage, to disbelief, to condoning any type of animal abuse.
ABN Radio in Ohio is reporting on their Web site that the employee shown in the video has been terminated.
UPDATE:
At the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Robert Boggs tells Brownfield the feeling was absolute anger with the violence that was seen perpetrated against livestock.
“This act is morally reprehensible and there is no room for such action in Ohio agriculture,” said Director Boggs.
Law enforcement officials in Union County Ohio are currently investigating, once that investigation is complete then appropriate actions can be taken. Director Boggs adds that in Ohio, the ODA does not have the authority to prosecute livestock cruelty issues, that is done locally by County Humane Societies.
Even thought Ohio voters approved a ballot initiative last November that established the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board, Boggs says the Board is in the process of being formed and establishing statewide livestock care standards that they will enforce, once they are in place. In the meantime..
“This act in no way, exemplifies Ohio agriculture,” said Boggs. “We have over 40,000 livestock farms in Ohio and this is a single, isolated incident.”

The Union County (Ohio) Prosecuting Attorney’s FaceBook Page has this post:
The matter is being investigated by the Union County Sheriff’s Office and the Union County Humane Society agents. Animal cruelty will be prosecuted by the City Attorney’s Office. Rest assured that the matter is being fully investigated; the person depicted in the video is in custody at this time.
