Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - We have an incredible opportunity to remake our food system. By shifting subsidies from the dairy industry to support plant-based alternatives, and by providing financial support for farmers to transition to arable farming or land rewilding programmes, we can futureproof farmers’ jobs and create a kinder, more sustainable world in the process. However, while the shooting on-farm may have been banned by the majority of retailers and dairy producers, the fate of these innocent animals has not changed as they are still being killed.

Cows In Action - Penguin Books UK

Once a cow becomes pregnant, she carries her baby in her womb for nine months before giving birth. Just like us.With 1 in 3 Brits now reported to be consuming plant-based milk on a regular basis, the nation is stepping away from supporting this industry. Our supermarket shelves are overflowing with plant-based milk, cheese and yoghurt alternatives. Due to increasing pressure from the public and animal welfare organisations, retailers have started to implement new rules to limit the killing of male calves, which were planned to come into force by the end of 2021. Shooting bull calves is potentially a massive own goal when we are talking about showing how great our industry is National Farmers (NFU) Union dairy chairman Michael Oakes (Jan, 2020) We should be able to trust the Government to use our taxpayer money wisely, but as a conscious consumer I am concerned that the Government is choosing to support an industry that is responsible for damaging our planet and taking mothers from their babies. Cows in the dairy industry are bred specifically to produce far larger quantities of milk than they would ever produce naturally. This unnatural milk production, combined with repeated forced pregnancies, takes a toll on their bodies. By the time they are a few years old, they are seen as ‘unproductive’ – because they’re so exhausted and their milk production has declined – and no longer profitable to the industry.

This tragic fate has been defined by many as the ‘dairy’s dirty secret’ and long criticised by animal protection organisations, as well as the general public. Male calves are not the only babies to be killed by the dairy industry (more about this later), as some calves are killed while they are still in their mother’s womb. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments A fabulous festive tale starring our courageous cow heroes. While travelling in time, Professor McMoo and his CIA squad are accidentally dropped into Christmas Eve 1066, on the eve of William the Conqueror’s coronation as King. And the whole land has gone Christmas crazy! There are lights and tinsel everywhere. Surely that can’t be right? It’s not long before an evil ter-moo-nator plot comes to light: a plan to stop the coronation, ruin Christmas and let evil robo-turkeys take over the town!The dairy industry even admits that this practise is extremely problematic, calling it an ‘own goal’: With 1 in 3 Brits now reported to be consuming plant-based milks on a regular basis, the nation is stepping away from supporting this industry. This is unsurprising, since the UK prides itself on being a nation of animal lovers and the world is all too aware of the climate catastrophe that is already rearing its ugly head. In a zero-graze system, a cow is not allowed to graze or be outdoors on the grass. Instead, she is fed silage (wet, fermented grass) and a high concentrate mix of cereal, soya, sunflower meal and maize. The majority of cows in the UK are stunned with a captive-bolt pistol. Once stunned they are hung upside down by one leg, lifted onto an overhead conveyor and moved to the ‘bleed area’. Here their throats are cut and they are left to bleed out. Stunning can be ineffective and some cows have their throats cut while still conscious.

This draining cycle of pregnancies, births and milk production is extremely hard on them, which is why often they develop severe diseases or physical ailments. Many die from these diseases or are killed as a result.And some don’t even get six months outside. Because the industry is constantly looking for ways to increase profits, a new system – referred to as ‘zero-graze’ – has been introduced in the UK and it is being used more and more frequently. Typically only a few hours after giving birth, a cow’s baby is taken from her so that the milk intended for her calf can be bottled and sold.
