– British Columbia’s provincial court says three dairy farm workers from the Fraser Valley have been sentenced to jail for causing distress to an animal after an undercover video showed several employees abusing milk cows. The Chilliwack provincial court registry confirmed Jamie Visser and Chris Vandyke were given 60 days each in jail, while Travis Keefer must spend seven days in jail after they pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges. The dairy farm company and its owner were fined $75,000 each after pleading guilty last year to causing an animal to continue to be in distress. We rarely see convictions involving farm animal cases in the context of animal cruelty. “We rarely see convictions involving farm animal cases in the context of animal cruelty.
