2. The calf is taken & either killed within 48 hours, sent to become veal or fattened up for 'beef' or in the case of females to become a future milk production line.
3. Female cows are milked en masse daily and then slaughtered when they can no longer produce. Their lives are short and horrific.
4. How much land does dairy farming use?
'To be competitive a rule of thumb for dairy operations is 1.5 to 2.0 acres per cow, which includes the 'youngstock'.'
This is an obscene misuse of land that has wiped out forests and ecosystems.
5. The somerset region in the UK known for Cheddar Cheese has countless dairy farms & is one of the most biodiversity depleted areas in Europe.
The pollution from these farms is killing river aquatic life along with many other land based wild species.
7. The land is the very root of animal agriculture. This is not addressed because the animal farmers who own all the land have all the power. It is the proverbial elephant in the room.
Somerset also hosts one of the largest animal markets in Europe.
8. Approximately 500 vegans have now taken 25 acres from dairy farming over 4 lots & one of these lots was destined to become a small chicken unit for 20,000 birds a year.
What could we achieve if 10's of 1000s of worked together?
9. The window of time is closing for us to change the system & help save the critically endangered wild species who have been driven from their homes due to this horrific system. Many face extinction. Extinction is forever.
Every acre we save is a whole universe to them.
10. Please join the #VeganLandMovementCIC a Community Interest Initiative that Asset Locks land from humans ever benefiting financially & protects non-human communities under vegan principles, in perpetuity 🐝🦋🐞🦎🦔💚🌍
Badgers are said to have been in Britain for over 250,000 years, but scientists argued that there is fossil evidence of this being even longer.

The Badgers name is said to be derived from the French ‘bêcheur’, meaning ‘digger’. Others claim that the name comes from the distinctive striped head which looks like a badge. The Welsh word for badger is ‘mochyn daear’, which literally translated means ‘earth pig’

Part of the cherry family this pretty tree is sometimes known as "Mother of the Wood" but it's commonly more famous for its berries ...
Flowering as early as late February (flowering from last year's growth & another reason not to cut hedges) & before its leaves are formed, its glorious abundance of creamy blossoms provides vital sustenance for bees after winter.
