Last summer, a woman applied for an entry-level job at Sweet Stem Farm — what sounded like an idyllic homestead about 10 miles north of Lancaster, Pa.

“Sweet Stem Farm is a small family farm in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country,” according to the farm’s Web site. “With our high-touch approach to animal care, we produce some of the best-tasting, humanely-raised pork, beef and lamb in our region.”

The woman got the job. But Sweet Stem did not know that its new hire was an undercover agent of sorts: what the animal-rights activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) calls a “field observer.” Field observers help PETA, in its words, shine “a spotlight on the plight of animals who are abused on factory farms, in slaughterhouses, in laboratories, in circuses, and in other cruel industries.” And as they collect checks working in such industries, they are also being paid by PETA to stealthily document possible animal abuse.

oh how sad. thanks for the tip. imo, yes vegetarianism is best for our bodies and the planet
