Controversial London Billboards Of A Woman Being ‘Milked’ Take Aim At Speciesism

The controversial billboard campaign in London aims to raise awareness about speciesism and the exploitation of animals in the dairy industry. The posters show a human woman being "milked" to draw attention to the similar fate endured by dairy cows. Founder Stephanie Lane hopes to counter-condition society by depicting human subjects in the barbaric situations faced by animals in the agriculture industry.

The first campaign focuses on the cruel practices of the dairy industry, where cows are forcibly impregnated, have their babies taken away, and endure pain and suffering before ultimately being sent to slaughter. Lane has faced resistance from advertising spaces, but hopes the campaign will educate the public about speciesism and encourage them to consider the impact of their consumer choices on non-human beings.
