In addition to the magnitude of illegal inhumane animal handling and slaughter carried out by farm workers, the animals on this farm were left without proper care, food, water and shelter. They were kept in small pens and cages with dying or already dead animals and surrounded by rotting carcasses. Many of these animals were riddled with disease, sores and were gravely ill. Aside the cruelty and neglect, the animals were unsuitable for human consumption. This however did not stop farm workers from selling these animals for this exact purpose.
