It is a terrible case, and one which which only came to light after an undercover video. The vets for the company said that they visited regularly, but presumably only when they were called, rather than visiting unannounced. The best solution to stop cases like these is to legislate for animal welfare inspections without notice. Currently notice is needed, or evidence of cruelty, for an instant inspection to take place - not just in Canada but in most countries.
What disturbs me even more is the USA. There, the farming industry has succeeded in quite few states in making undercover videos illegal. This was after a string of similar cruelty cases. Now anyone "blowing the whistle" with an undercover video risks prison, instead of the medal s/he deserves.
