the wonder of nature with pure and natural products. additional support provided by the lef foundation. ♪ ♪ i never saw farm animals except on a summer drive through california's san joaquin valley. there are long stretches of cattle ranches out there, but i never paid any attention to

all those animals until now. some people have been saying the animals are mistreated. this summer, i decided to stop in the valley to see for myself how farm animals live. it's hard for any outsider to get on a farm these days. farming is big business with a lot of money at stake. i got access to a large dairy with the help of a cattle veterinarian. jim reynolds has been looking after cattle his whole life. >> i grew up around cows. they're very docile, intelligent creatures. they are a little smarter than horses. i like the calmness of cows. i'm happiest when i'm walking around cows on a dairy. there are not a lot of cattle veterinarians in the world. most vets choose to work with small animals like cats and dog.

this leaves the cattle vets with a huge job. >> while cattle are taken care of fairly well, there are some serious holes in the welfare system on farms. we have a responsibility to take care of them as well as we can. the dairy i went to has around 3,000 holsteins. these cows are the most productive of all the breeds. a state-of-the-art milking parlor is really something to see. the cows walk onto a rotating platform, a carousel of progress that allows more animals to be milked per hour. ♪ left to nature, a cow produces about ten pounds of milk per day, which is what it takes to meet the needs of her calf. over the years, we've tinkered with her biology and she now producuces about 100 pounds

of milk per day. this high productivity is good for business, but may be not so good for the cow. the normal lifespan of a cow could be up to about 20 years, but under the strain of high milk yields, she wears out in just a few years. she is then sent to slaughter. there's a myth that cows automatically produce milk. but to make milk, they must first get pregnant and give birth. on dairies, they give birth every year. a calf would normally suckle for about six months. to keep the milk for us, the newborn is taken away from its mother in a few days. this can be stressful for the animals. (cows mooing)

there's no place on dairies for the male calves so they're sold to beef ranches right after they're born. many of them leave before they've been fed their mother's milk, which is rich in antibodies. without the protective antibodies, thousands of newborns will perish from infection or disease. in the summertime, the san joaquin valley is a hard place for both man and beast. heatwaves come through at 110 degrees. in california and other arid states, cows live on dirt lots. there's no green grass or trees to help cool things down. this dairy copes with the heat by providing shade barns and fans. but not all the cows in the valley are this lucky. no law requires that these animals get shelter or shade.

when the heat comes, mortality rises. from watching cowboy movies, i had assumed that animals injured beyond repair were shot and put out of their misery. that's not how it works in ranching today. sick and injured animals are usually left to die on their own, no matter how long that takes. mercy killing is very rare, a harsh reality that jim is trying to change. >> this cow was found as a down cow this morning. she was normal yesterday. she's older. and we've done a physical exam. i don't know exactly what's wrong but there's something very wrong in her intestinal track. something's bleeding or she has a tumor. the prognosis is very bad. we can't really fix her, so we will go ahead and euthanize her. i'm going to use euthanasia solution...there're other methods, but this one is a bit

calmernd cleaner. many dairies unfortunately, to this day, still drag the cow out and let it stay in the sun until it dies. and recognizing when an animal is suffering and euthanizing it quickly and appropriately is something we're trying to educate the farm clients on doing. today, the cow gives us 60 percent more milk than she did just 30 years ago. we push these gentle and intelligent animals pretty hard. there is an old farmers saying, "we take care of the animals and in turn they take care of us." i wonder if we're keeping up our end of the bargain.

my worry over the cattle took me to colorado to meet america's very own, real-life cow whisperer...i found temple grandin outside fort collins hanging out with some beef cattle. >> oh, they are just so peaceful. i just feel so peaceful sitting here with them. you know, because, a grazing animal, i mean, most of the time is a peaceful animal. it ruminates, it grazes, but they're a prey species animal, so when something scares them, they can react with a really big reaction. cattle have a strong sense of fear. the manmade world of the cattle business can be frightening for them. temple has spent a lifetime taking the fear out of their lives. over half of the cattle in north american are handled in humane systems that she has designed. these days temple is a professor

of animal science at colorado state university, but when she was a child, academic success seemed unlikely. temple was born with autism, the neurological disorder that makes learning and interaction with other people hard. autism was not well understood back then and her doctors recommended that she be institutionalized. her mother refused. instead, temple went to a boarding school where some farsighted teachers helped her to unlock her mind. when temple was a young teen, things took a turn for the worse. her autism really kicked in and she experienced fear-induced panic attacks. then, on a summer vacation at a ranch in arizona the unexpected happened. temple saw a cattle squeeze chute for the very first time. this special chute is used to hold animals still for

vaccinations and for branding. >> well, when i was first exposed to squeeze chute, i was at my aunt's ranch and they were handling some calves over at the next-door neighbor's ranch. you know, putting them in the squeeze chutes just to do some injections. and i noticed that sometimes when they put the animal in the squeeze chute, they just kind of relaxed. well, i was having these terrible nerve attacks, so i went out and tried out the squeeze chute. you know, it wasn't very comfortable, but the pressure helped to calm me down. a lot of therapists now use pressure to help calm down children with autism. temple was intrigued by the calming effect the chute had on her body. she built one for herself to help calm down her nerves. >> well, let me show you how i get in here, i get in here on my hands and knees, and it just squeezes me. and i can adjust the pressure. back it off a little bit. i find lots of times it's most relaxing if i kind of squeeze it up, hold it for a little bit,

and then just let it off just a little bit. this positive experience with the squeeze chute made her curious about cows and she began to hang out in colorado's stockyards. very rough.n i first started w i thought there has got to be better ways to do things. cowboys were using electric prods without restraint to the drive the cattle. if an animal balked and did not want to go forward, even more force was applied. as temple watched the rough housing she wondered why the cattle stopped in their tracks or even backed up. sure, they were afraid of the cowboys but something else was going on. >> the first thing i did was i got down in the chutes to see what the cattle where seeing. temple saw all kinds of things -- shadows, reflections, a cowboy hat left on a rail. she heard noises no one else heard. (cows mooing)

it was these little things that frightened the cattle making it hard for the cowboys to do their job. temple knew that an unfamiliar sound could trigger alarm in the sensitive ears of cattle because it could trigger alarm in her. because of her autism, temple's hearing is more sensitive than ours. >> my sensory system is more like an animal's. i have hyper-acute senses. loud sounds hurt my ears. animals such as cattle and horses also have very sensitive hearing. loud sounds hurt their ears. not only are her senses more like an animal's so is her mind. because cows don't use language and words pictures run through their minds when they think. temple also thinks in pictures. >> everything i think about images come up. like if you said think about a tea kettle the first tea kettle i see is a tea kettle that we had when i was a child, then i see a teapot in a hotel room.

it comes up like a series of images. temple realized that she had more than the squeeze chute in common with cattle. she had their keen hearing, powerful fear, and method of thought. she put these traits of her autism to work to help cattle. >> it's really important to get the cow's eye view. you got to look for the little things that they notice, the little details, the little things of high contrast. coming on around the bend, now we got a piece of paper right here. this is the kind of little thing that's going to make them balk. you got to get rid of that kind of stuff. the cattle are very sensitive to contrast. temple is perhaps most famous for the work she has done in slaughterhouses. most people don't like to think about slaughterhouses but temple was not afraid to walk right in there to see what was going on. >> i remember going to this really horrible plant where they hung cattle upside down by one back leg. they were bellowing their heads off.

you could hear them out in the parking lot. you could hear them in the cafeteria. it was really terrible. there were other problems. by law, cattle are supposed to be knocked unconscious and made senseless to pain before they are processed. temple discovered that some of the animals were being slaughtered while they were still conscious. horrified, she set out to stop it. she began by redesigning the slaughterhouse. in her system, the animals go in the plant single file. all they can see is the animal in front of them. because they can't see anything up ahead, they stay calmer. inside, they walk over a metal bar with their feet on either side. as they straddle the bar, the floor begins to slope away and their feet are now up off the ground. they are riding on a moving conveyor. walls on both sides of the conveyor hug the animals. a gun-like device is used to render them unconscious. >> it is a sobering thought to

have created the world's most efficient killing device, yet i am at peace with myself because the animals are now less frightened when they go into the meat plant. over time, temple recognized that she had to do more than invent new equipment. at the plants where people just didn't care, the animals were still suffering. to combat people problems temple created an audit that rates human performance with numbers. the goal is to reduce the use of electric cattle prods, cut down on the number of injured animals, and to help make sure the animals are unconscious before they're slaughtered. >> that has to be 100%, period! there's a zero tolerance for cutting up on an animal that is showing any signs of, you know, return to life. temple is a highly respected industry force. she can help to close bad plants down. yet, even for her some slaughterhouses are still off limits.

>> some of the small plants -- that's where there are still some very bad problems. i spent so many hours working in these meat plants, staying up all night, and one of my big concerns is who is going to replace a 60-year-old person like me? that a builder of slaughterhouses would become an american legend is as unlikely as temple's own life. for as long as the world has slaughterhouses, i hope there will be people like temple around. after i left colorado, i wanted to see how pigs were raised. i phoned several farms, but no one would give me permission to visit. i had to go all the way to canada to get a look at a pig barn.

professor tina widowski, an expert in animal behavior, was my guide. >> pigs are very curious and they are very intelligent. they've been taught to play computer games. they're probably smarter than dogs. they like to explore as you can see. ♪ we used to raise pigs outside, but these days, most breeding sows live indoors. this is a typical barn. it has an automatic feeding and cleaning system. to keep this mechanized barn working properly, the pigs have to stay in their cages all the time. they only get out when it's time to give birth, but even then, they're just moved down the hall

and put into a different style of cage. >> soon after these systems were developed, concern was raised for the welfare of the sows that are in them. their behavior is severely limited. they don't have the opportunity to even turn around. they often develop what's called stereotypic behavior. it's like pacing in zoo animals. sows kept in confinement develop a lot of oral sterotypies. they nose and chew on things with their mouths. you can see that this sow has been provided with a chain and she's spending a great deal of time chewing on it. after living in a cage for two or three years, the animals are depleted. they are then sent to slaughter. one reason the big farms use the cage is that it prevents the animals from interacting with each other. in a crowded barn, the pigs can squabble over food and space. the cage system prevents that. in a more natural setting, pigs are very social and they like

to live together. tina and others are trying to give the pigs living in cages on big farms a little bit of freedom. new pigpens are being invented and tested. this room used to be full of crates but they were pulled out. little, half-walls that jut out into the pen were added. these little walls create a space for each animal where she can cozy in and protect her back. the extra walls have helped to promote the peace in this little pen. the overhead bins also help. they drop feed down onto the floor in piles all over the room. this gives every animal her own feeding place and it prevents the stronger pigs from getting more than their share. >> the advantages of this situation for the sow are obviously they have freedom of movement, which means if there's a cold drafty spot or a hot spot they can move to an area that's more comfortable. they can choose either to lie together, which, pigs are social

and prefer to do, or they can lie apart separated by a wall. keeping a pig in a crate for the majority of her life came into fashion in the 1960s. since then, industry has been very reluctant to let the pigs out. but more and more people are becoming aware of this farming system and half dozen states have already outlawed the crate. still, most of our breeding sows live in cages, never once getting out to smell fresh air or see the sun. 20 years ago, a small grassroots organization bought this farm and built a shelter for farm animals. farm sanctuary was opened to the public so people could see for themselves that these animals are not so different from cats and dogs. farm animals have personalities, feelings and needs just like any other animal.

the animals living here come from hard times but their stories have happy endings. susie coston is in charge of animal care. she's feeding hens that were rescued from a standard american egg farm. the egg farm of today looks like a warehouse. inside, there are thousands of birds in a windowless world of endless cages. the chickens go into the cage when they are very young and they will stay there the rest of their lives. five to seven birds live in one small cage. the cage wire damages their feet, their feathers, and there's no place to even stretch out a wing. these animals are never allowed outside. when the birds rescued from the egg farm arrived here, they had never had the chance to walk. >> when they first arrived they're so scared, they're

terrified to even take a step, and then finally when they do go outside, they start doing all the things that come naturally to most birds -- they sunbathe, they stretch out their feathers in the sun and they love to scratch for food and they're happy. gene baur is the president and co-founder of the shelter. one of the first animals that he rescued was this little calf named opie. this is him when he was a newborn, but he is all grown up now. >> i found opie at a stockyard on a freezing winter day in february, and he was just left there, he was abandoned, and he was so young that he was still wet from afterbirth, and he was suffering from hypothermia. he only probably had another hour to live when i came across him. and i luckily found him in time, took him to the vet, and he's now recovered fully, and is a big guy! over the years, gene and his colleagues have helped to

reform the way america farms. they won the very first conviction against a u.s. stockyard for mistreating animals. they were instrumental in outlawing chicken cages and pig crates in several states. a small, mostly volunteer army is making a difference. long ago, we moved off the family farm. big companies came in, took over, and the animals were forgotten. but we are all responsible for their fate and they need our help. here's what you can do:

as a part of recruiting us, the irish government did give us a tax incentive agreement to enter there. >> nobody asked what these tax incentives were. >> the bishop was forced into the defensive. he said no special tax deals in place with overseas company operating here. >> the tax rate was not on the summit agenda. the question was whether the tax question would be raised by other eu leaders. mr. kenny said he would explain matters if requested. in the event that, wasn't necessary. progress was reported on measures to reduce tax evasion in the eu. less harmony afterwards when mr. kenny was asked repeatedly about the u.s. senate committee hearing. what did he think of apple executives, including ceo timly koch who spoke of a

and now we turn it back to the early days of transatlantic flying. between 1939-1945, the village in county limerick was the center of the aviation world. today we are going to the flying boat museum, which includes a full scale replica of a flying boat, the only one of its kind anywhere in the world. >> a fantasy of mechanism where the flight engineer gets a spectacular view of manhattan. this is no sightseeing trip. it's a preparation for transatlantic service. yet, that's the sight to see. it's a sky going house, flown by the pilot. his tricky job is landing monster. >> it's the late 1930 and the era of transatlantic air travel has begun. this is the plane that started it all, the thing that's a boeing 314 flying

boat that floats across the atlantic. ♪ ♪ >> in 1937, small mall in county limerick became the center of international attention as the landing place for the first commercial transatlantic flight. for a brief period in the 1930 and '40s, the shannon estuary was the key to europe and the world. >> flying boats could only land there. wait as village of 500 people but was a commercial port in some way, so it's true what they say, location, location location. it was chosen because it's on the west coast obviously. it had a lot of the

companies based here, but more importantly was its sheltered harbor. the flying boats could land on water, it had to be a nice, sheltered area for them to come down safely. in 1937, the first flight to long island, planes had arrived here to greet them with thousands of people who came from all over the country to see is this new phenomenal way of traveling, and lindbergh was also here to wish them well on their trip back to the united states. a small village on the west coast of ireland was the center of attention. in 1939, they arrived with a

big thing to do, because there was not one to copy. it was nice to get the blue prints and we were luckier to come across this man who started talking about wanting to do this, and the cockpits, and i said no. i'll build the whole plane. and how can you build a whole plane on a boat? easy. make a small plane big severe the flying boat was launched to great fanfare in july, 2006. for the first time since the 19 40, visitors could experience the early days of transatlantic flying, a very different world to air travel today, but strictly limited to the very privileged who could afford it. >> up to now, we have plane

explaining through photographs and diagrams what it's like, but now visitors to the museum can step on board the yankee clipper and see for themselves what luxury and what an enormous aircraft she was, and at that time of course the greatest aircraft in the world. on the clipper you walk back into the 1940s immediately. anything you wished was there for you. the seats converted to beds at nighttime. but of course, at the back you had the honeymoon suite. it was a more expensive ticket, and lots was happening. upstairs, you see the crew departments. these flights depended on the weather enormously. however, if everything went

right, you could easily find a stop off in newfoundland. this was all one first class all the way. if you were fortunate enough to fly, you were either traveling on governmt business, or else you paid $365 for a return ticket, and that was the average price of a house in the united states at that time. so it puts into perspective how expensive it was to travel. >> the flying boat museum was originally opened in 1989, and with its fascinating range of ex-. >> it's long been popular with visitors. now however with its expansion, it's becoming one of the region's attractions.
