Lawyers are asking a federal judge to combine multiple lawsuits against milk distributor Fairlife and the owners of a northern Indiana dairy farm into a single class-action suit.

The Newton County Prosecutor says a witness has corroborated allegations from an abuse suspect that the Animal Recovery Mission employee encouraged the abuse at Fair Oaks Farms.

The Newton County prosecutor overseeing the case told multiple media outlets that a witness says an undercover activist at Fair Oaks Farms told farm workers to abuse animals in order to get footage for his investigation.

One person has been arrested and charged after the release of videos showing animals being abused at Fair Oaks Farm.

This is the second video released by the group in recent weeks. They show animal abuse and neglect at two different Fair Oaks locations in Indiana, captured by undercover workers.

The Newton County Sheriffs office released the names Tuesday of three former Fair Oaks Farms employees facing criminal charges connected to animal cruelty.

An animal rights group has released new undercover video showing workers at an Indiana dairy farm abusing adult cows while loading them into a milking carousel that visitors can tour at the popular agritourism destination.

Three former employees of a large northwestern Indiana dairy have been charged with animal cruelty following the release of undercover video showing workers kicking and throwing young calves, officials said Monday.

Fair Oaks Farms Fresh Delivery founder, Troy McCloskey, said Friday the service was being suspended for one week "to stand with the farm and for the safety of the drivers."

Co-founder Mike McCloskey shared his disappointment in failing to protect the animals on the farm that promotes sustainability.
