  1. >But activists for the Animal Justice Project (AJP) who for three months monitored the farm, which supplies milk to Delamere Dairy, said they saw a string of shocking scenes including:

    – lame goats struggling to get up to reach food and water
    – animals suffering painfully overgrown hooves
    – mother goats with udders so distended they touched the floor, sometimes leaving animals unable to walk properly
    – workers roughly shoving animals
    – kids crying out as their ears were tagged
    – piles of dead goats dumped outdoors
    – female goats being killed on the farm instead of being reared for breeding
    – kids as young as 24 hours old also killed

    People don’t care. They say the UK is a nation of animal lovers, but the only animals we love are the ones we make into pets.

    Most people couldn’t give less of a shit about animals or their welfare, and will gleefully fund their torment and abuse if it means they end up with more products of that abuse on their dinner table.

  2. Honestly the best way to protect animals is by being vegan. Unfortunately people are the worst so thats the only way you can be sure that no harm is being done.

    Or at least the least harm. Monoculture farming/pesticides etc. is also riddled with wildlife issues.

  4. Everyone that works there, from the higher ups to the person on the floor needs to be in prison.

    If they were aware or enabled this = prison.

  5. > The video also revealed the killing of baby goats deemed of no value to the industry

    This is standard practice in any animal milk industry. What do people think happen to male offspring that are of no use? Goat milk is no more ethical than cow milk.

  6. I am surprised to see M&S on the list. Does Waitrose have better welfare and more responsible?

  7. If any of you are surprised by this then where have you been shoving your heads because its been a sad ugly truth for years and sometimes decades that battery farms exist for than just chickens and that not every farm is open range especially not when it comes to milk, eggs, beef, chicken, pork and lamb.

    I’m sorry but not a single person can be shocked by this.
