Over half of the UK population (52%) don’t know cows are impregnated annually for milk, and 83% are unaware that calves are separated within 24 hours, causing immense distress. With only 17% of people believing ‘dairy companies provide enough information. the results confirmed that most of the British public know very little about the reality of farming cows due to the industry's deliberate and calculated efforts to keep us in the dark.
SEAN BARRS: Animal Justice Project commissioned YouGov to survey 2,000 participants to assess public awareness of the dairy industry. The industry works hard to conceal its practices behind marketing and welfare claims. As expected, the results confirmed that most of the British public know very little about the reality of farming cows due to the industry’s deliberate and calculated efforts to keep us in the dark.

Calves spend only a brief moment with their mothers before being separated so that the industry can take the milk intended for them.

Tragically, she will endure this cycle three to four times until her ‘milk production’ declines, at which point she will be slaughtered, as the industry deems that she is no longer ‘profitable’…
