If you think dairy is happy cows in green fields you couldn’t be more wrong.
Just today, a dairy farm was exposed for violence against cows and calves: routinely kicking, stabbing, shoving, dragging and leaving dead calves out in the open to rot in front of the cows.
If you think this only happens in non-western countries, you couldn’t be more wrong. This is happening on a farm that is a major supplier of dairy in the UK.
Even in the most benign cases, calves are ripped away from their mothers, cows are impregnated yearly, most often by artificial insemination, milked until they are worn out and then sent for slaughter, male calves are primarily shipped off for veal and females suffer the same fate as their mothers.
