Animal Recovery Mission (ARM) investigators released a new video Wednesday that they claim catches Larson Dairy Farm owner Jacob Larson abusing animals on his farm.
Investigators allege Larson knew employees were using excessive force and, in one instance, restrained a cow himself while an employee kicked the animal in the head.
If the allegations are true, it would contradict Larson's claim that he was "deeply saddened and appalled by the actions" in an original video, released in November, showing workers kicking and beating cows at the Okeechobee farm.
"We have strict protocols involving animal care and clearly the behavior shown in this video goes against everything we stand for and will not be tolerated," Larson went on to say in his statement.
The video led to a criminal investigation, but Okeechobee County Sheriff Noel E. Stephen said the Larson family would not have been involved in the abuse.
