The Agriculture Industry Has Been Drilling Holes in Live Cows (Shocking Video)

Is there a limit to how extreme the industrial agriculture system can get? Grinding up male baby chickens by the thousands, keeping animals in horrible conditions, poisoning the consumers, and now they are literally drilling holes in cows by a processes called fistulation.

Fistulation includes partial removal of a animal’s abdomen, then surgically placing a plastic ring, cannula, to keep the flesh open to an 8-inch hole, making the stomach exposed.

Why? The claim is that this practice is healthy for the animal, as it allows transferring microbes from one animal to the other (even though GI diseases can be accidentally shared as well), as well as to monitor how the animal digests food.

Animals who had this procedure are also called cannulated.

Cannulated anomals have existed since 1833, and are now used mostly by meat and dairy industries, but are also used by veterinary school to study the cows’ digestion.

“Just unplug the top, don a shoulder-length plastic sleeve, and in your arm goes into the rumen of a live cow,” according to Modern Farmer. 

When analyzing digestion, it is not just grass, hay and grain that is placed inside the stomach:

“There is a day when students get to come in with any food items, ranging from Snickers bars to Twinkies. Students get to place these food items inside the steer and observe how long it takes for the cow to digest each of the items,” reported The Standard of Missouri State University.

Some argue that the procedure is painless because the animals are medicated during surgery and “don’t feel any pain,” others say that this is extremely inhumane. Watch how it is done and decide for yourself.

This is how the procedure is done step by step. Viewer discretion advised:
