A new undercover video has revealed disturbing animal abuse at dairy farms supplying milk to Mlรฉkรกrna Kunรญn.
The footage, released by the organization Zvรญลata nejรญme, documents brutal mistreatment of calves and their mothers across 12 different farms in the Czech Republic.
The video shows farm workers engaging in extreme cruelty. A newborn calf is kicked in the head and stomach, while another is violently beaten with a fist.
One worker stomps on a calfโs head, and another is seen standing on its neck for several seconds. The abuse extends to adult cows, who are struck in the head, stabbed in the stomach with a pipe, and shocked with an electric prod when they are unable to walk.
The farms documented in the footage are located in Suchdol, Pernรก, Hornรญ Toลกanovice, Niลพnรญ Lhoty, Kelฤ, Poruba, Starรฝ Jiฤรญn, Koลกatka, Lubomฤล, Jindลichov, Libhoลกลฅ, and Skalice.
Repeat Cases of Animal Cruelty
This is the fourth time Zvรญลata nejรญme has uncovered serious abuse in the Czech dairy industry. Following previous exposรฉs aired by Czech Television, Agriculture Minister Marek Vรฝbornรฝ (KDU-ฤSL) ordered emergency farm inspections. However, activists argue that government oversight remains ineffective.
Despite past reports submitted to veterinary authorities, punishments have been minimal. One farm worker in Suchdol was fined a mere 36,000 CZK after being caught on camera kicking and beating calves.
Mlรฉkรกrna Kunรญn Responds
Following the release of the footage, Jakub Duลกek, a representative of Mlรฉkรกrna Kunรญn, strongly condemned the acts shown in the vide
โWe strongly oppose the behavior of employees at these farms. After similar footage emerged last year, we immediately launched an investigation and worked with our suppliers to address the situation. The State Veterinary Administration has also been involved.โ
Duลกek stated that employees responsible for the abuse had their contracts terminated, and new supplier agreements were signed at the beginning of the year. These agreements include specific guidelines for animal welfare.
โIf we discover further incidents of mistreatment, we will immediately end our cooperation with those suppliers. We consider such behavior completely unacceptable.โ
