Saputo Drops Milk Supplier In Wake Of Video Scandal

Saputo, producer of Dairyland dairy products, says it is no longer accepting milk from Chilliwack Cattle Sales, a B.C. farm where eight employees were caught on video beating cattle.

The move comes after Mercy for Animals Canada released undercover video last week, showing dairy cows being whipped and beaten with chains and canes, as well as punched and kicked, at Canada's largest dairy farm.

It also showed cows suffering from open wounds and injuries, and being lifted by their necks with chains and tractors — and prompted 100,000 people to sign a change.org petition calling for Saputo to take action.
