I found this on facebook from JoBo Holsteins


While most everything in the Fair Oaks Video makes us at JoBo sick, we also wanted to let you know the group that put the video together is purposely training individuals to go on farms, under cover, offer money to farm employees to stage and sabotage farms. We as dairy farmers, have to go through training, along with training our employees, we also along with our employees signed and agreed to treating our animals properly, and humanely, by signing the "FARM" agreement. We are inspected by our cooperative that purchases our milk. If you truly knew the Fair Oaks Farm Operation, you would know that this is not something that would of been ok. Trust me when we say we take the care and lives of all our animals very serious. We aren't telling you to not be angry with what your seeing, but I think true anger should be ask to the individual or individuals that allowed it to happen. For everyone sharing the "Fair Oaks Farm" video, and are "outraged" by the content ...there are a few things you probably need to know;

1) The group putting this info out there, is a pro-vegan group, whose agenda and intent IS to end the consumption of all true dairy products.

2) This group, "infiltrated" the FOF operations, as employees. In order to compile the footage they've shown you, they had to work for FOF for nearly two years....and after two years, that was all the footage they could compile.

3) While acting as "employees", these protestors both participated in, and conducted the acts of abuse they filmed, essentially manufacturing some, if not all of the abusive acts filmed.

4) FOF has a policy of "see something, say something", to which the "protestors" employees refused to do...so only by violating FOF policies, did the abuse occur....at the necessity of "protestor" socio-political agenda.

5) FOF, released a statement, several weeks ago...well before the protesters released it's "footage"...explaining that they discovered the groups activities. How did FOF discover the activities? By terminating the employees who were abusing the animals. After being terminated, the protesters infiltrators bragged about how they were going to "ruin" FOF, and subseqently exposed themselves.

6) Of the 4 employees involved in the abuse to which the protesters shows footage of....the 3 that worked directly for FOF were terminated. Two of those employees, were later exposed to be apart of the protesters operation. The fourth person involved, is not a FOF employee, at all.

7) Actual FOF employees observed the abuse being committed and staged by those working for protesters organization, and they reported the abuse...which led to FOF both discovering these activities and terminating the employment of the abusers.

All that said, the truth is, the protesters staged the abuse, conducted the abuse, and then reported the abuse, while actual FOF employees discovered it, put a stop to it, and are now under attack by the social media for something they didn't actually do. There are always two sides to every story. Again, you should know that we are angry too, but we really think we need to put a stop to these people, attacking farmers. Please feel free to ask a farmer, visit farmers you will learn quickly that they love what they do and they love the animals they care for!!
