A video which appears to show a live cow being dropped into a dump truck at the site of a semi truck crash has sparked outrage on social media.

The video was filmed during the cleanup on I-84 in Weber County, Utah, on Monday.

According to Fox-13, a truck that was hauling 63,000 pounds of cattle took a turn too fast and overturned, killing many of the animals inside.

Facebook user Savannah Skye Haskay shared the video and posted the following caption:

“I’m crying.
This is the wreck on the freeway.
There are still little cows’ legs dangling out of the semi… They saved the driver right away what about the animals???”

Thousands of users had similar feelings, and shared their outrage online.

The driver of the truck was not seriously injured and was not cited.
