Rejected petition Ban cruelty to dairy cattle & slaughter of them and their calves in the UK
So much milk is taken from dairy cattle that many become ill & emaciated & are slaughtered young. Calves are taken from mothers forever at 1 to 3 days old,have tails & horns removed with hot iron. Male calves are slaughtered.This should be banned & replaced with no slaughter dairies like Ahimsa
More details
Dairy cattle are often tethered to bars in sheds all day unable to move. Scientific studies show mothers and calves are severely emotionally affected by being separated so early & forever - and negative effects such as not interacting w/ others last for their entire lives.
