Poor Cow
Please use your vote to introduce a minimum standard for cows producing vegetarian society trademark approved milk and products containing dairy. Unlike the Soil Association, RSPCA, CIWF, FAWC, Little Red Tractor, Marks & Spencers and other retailers The Vegetarian Society currently have no animal welfare standards for poor dairy cows.
Vote now to reduce the suffering of cows and protect the food chain.
Don't let GM in by the back door, ask your supermarket to demand that suppliers refrain from feeding GM foods to livestock. Currently distributors of feed purposefully mix GM grain with non GM grain. Supermarkets are powerful enough to demand segregation on GM animal feed as they did with other foods. Do you want genetically modified material in your milk?
EU law states clearly that if an animal is 'unable to move independently without pain or to walk unassisted' it is unfit for transport. CIWF have uncovered widespread abuse of poor dairy cows who have come to the end of their milk producing careers. Please help.
Animal Aid are campaigning against cruelty at farmers markets. It appears RSPCA inspectors are failing to ensure humane standards for animal welfare at many farmers markets in the UK
Animal aid have also exposed the dairy equivilent of battery eggs - battery milk with battery cows
