The polar vortex is hitting these Big Dairy farms right now. And thousands of newborn babies are exposed to subzero temps. It’s cruel. It’s inhumane. And it’s downright UNACCEPTABLE!
Concerned animal advocate, ARM has witnessed first-hand the mistreatment, neglect, and abuse of dairy cows and calves at these profit-hungry dairy operations… during severe winter conditions:
Calves were exposed to crippling cold climates. Management failed to provide basic protection. And many don’t survive.
ARM’s investigator remains haunted by visions of dead baby calves curled up in a ball, frozen solid to the ground.
Here’s what you need to know:
· VIOLENTLY RIPPED FROM THEIR MOTHERS. Newborn calves are separated at birth and thrown into isolated hutches, scared and alone.
· LEFT OUT IN THE COLD. Babies too weak, often sick, and with little protection are left to fend for themselves in unforgiving winter conditions.
· SLOWLY FREEZE TO DEATH: Unable to properly insulate their frail bodies, the calves endure slow, agonizing deaths from hypothermia. Investigators even found calves dead and frozen solid to the ground.
It’s one of the dairy industry’s dirty little secrets that they keep trying to hide from the public.
