Campaign Urges British Consumers to Give Up Dairy for International Women’s Day

Animal Justice Project in the UK is urging consumers to boycott dairy products on International Women’s Day to shed light on the treatment of cows in the dairy industry. A recent survey commissioned by the charity revealed that many Brits are unaware of common dairy industry practices, such as the annual impregnation of dairy cows and the early separation of calves from their mothers.

The study also found that the majority of respondents were unaware of the age at which dairy cows are typically slaughtered, highlighting a lack of transparency in the dairy industry. Despite this lack of awareness, a significant portion of participants expressed a willingness to opt for oat milk as a default option in cafes. This campaign follows recent findings that most Brits oppose certain farming practices, suggesting a growing concern for animal welfare in the UK.
