Fair Oaks Farms, headquartered in Fair Oaks, Indiana, and The fairlife Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, have created brands about how their product is sourced based on promoting the proper and humane care of the cows. However, the ethical treatment and welfare of these animals are absent.

The cows are removed from their holding barns three times a day to be milked, day and night.

Daily, employees hit and punched cows and hit cows in the udders with milking claws. Cows were also poked, stabbed, and shoved with metal tubes and broomsticks. When cows in the milking line would not cooperate, frustrated employees bent and broke bones in the cows’ tails as punishment for not entering the confusing rotary system.

When dairy cows no longer produced milk or were too sick, workers told the ARM investigator that those dairy cows would go to McDonald’s for Big Mac’s or to become dog food.

These criminal acts of abuse of the dairy cows contradict the fairlife and Coca-Cola statements.
