DAIRY’S DARK SECRET

During an eight week investigation into a family run dairy
farm in Somerset, England, animal equality captured images
of violent abuse and prolonged suffering.
A farm worker is using a metal ratchet
to pull a calf from this cow.
This uncomfortable
and stressful procedure is common on dairy farms
with a miracle of motherhood is exploited for profit.
Just hours later, this new mother is repeatedly abused along
with other cows, even tiny cow
F*****g lay down
Other cows on the same farm suffer from crippling lameness
and pressure sores.
These painful conditions affect half
of all dairy cows in the UK every year.
Some cows are forced to wear chains caught hobbles
for months on end.
These primitive devices are used on mother cows who've
suffered pelvic damage during carving a common problem
for modern dairy cars who've been selectively bred
for maximum milk production at the expense
of their physical wellbeing.
Male dairy calves are considered worthless by dairy farmers
as they'll never produce milk.
These two tiny calves were shot dead
and callously left in full view of nursing
and pregnant cows.
You can help end this cruelty
and the suffering endured by cows
and calves on dairy farms around the world
by choosing plant-based milks, cheeses, yogurts,
and ice creams.
