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.
