Closed Parliament to debate whether cows must be able to graze outside freely.

Closed on

Countryfile recently showed dairy cows living their whole lives in sheds, 24/7 52 weeks a year. They never feel a breeze or sun on their backs. Fed processed meals they never chew fresh grass. Cruelty to cows is bad for our diets too. We want fair prices for our farmers and freedom for cows. Grass.
