Udder-ly Cruel Posted By Brooke Shelby Biggs on August 31, 2010 Topic : Corporate Greed
Please support 38 Degrees campaign to stop companies in the UK from building huge ‘mega-dairies’ in Lincolnshire. The cows are kept inside all year round and they aren’t even fed on grass – this helps produce as much milk as possible and therefore as much profit as possible. This is most definitely cruel to the cows and should these ‘mega-dairies’ become popular then they will put the smaller family-farms out of business. Let’s join forces and put pressure on the Lincolnshire Council and Councillors to stop these mega-dairies from being built. Add your name to the 38 Degrees petition now – it only takes a few minutes. 38 Degrees have many other great campaigns that could do with your support also. Check them out!
