The article states that a group opposing the CAFO is doing so because the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, "fails to enforce the laws of the state that would protect the environment."
But as you know, CAFOs do much more harm than ruin our environment (although they do that too).
The CAFO would also subject the cows to inhumane treatment such as tail docking, confined quarters and over-milking.
In fact, the article features a video from another Wisconsin operation Rosendale Dairy, and I am not sure why they posted this video, but there could be only two reasons:
1) To show how good these cows have got it. This is not a beef CAFO. They are not standing in feedlots. It is a dairy operation, which means that it is relatively cleaner (ie: they cannot be standing in shit). They even play this light, jazzy music as it shows the cows being milked.
2) To show how bad these cows have got it. There are images of cows being milked with docked tails, enormous utters (clearly someone's been taking their hormones), and sores on the back.
I will look more into this proposed-factory farm, but in the meantime, let me know if you think these cows have it good or bad. Unfortunately, their video won't embed, so check out it out here.
