This is important - Follow this Compassion in World Farming link on the perils of mega-dairies proposed for the UK.
Apart from the cows never seeing the light of day, there is also human cost to these and they are a disaster for diversity: I have spoken to French farmers who are already suffering from being out-priced by Dutch mega-dairies, and for several years it has no longer been possible to find local butter in the UK, as ALL UK butter is made in 2 giant dairies, and small producers can't compete on price. Local, individual, unusual dairy products will disappear or only be available to the wealthy.
If you care about:
• Nice food
• Cows
• Not having all money from dairy products going to a very few rich businessmen rather than normal farmers.
...then please take literally a minute to fill out their email form to send to your MP. The link to send the form is at the bottom of this page.
