Dairies in Delhi, Mumbai and elsewhere in India Undercover Investigation Reveals Horrors in India's Dairy Industry PETA India's recent undercover investigation of several dairy farms revealed shocking cruelty to cows and buffaloes. Tabelas -- animal factories with no provisions for health care or animal welfare -- are steadily replacing small family farms. Buffaloes in Delhi's main dairy facility stand knee-deep in foul-smelling excrement, suffering from skin infections, foot disease and other illnesses. Garbage is piled up everywhere. Drainage, electricity and designated waste disposal sites are lacking. In Mumbai, calves are tightly tethered on short ropes in order to prevent them from reaching their mothers, but in their struggle to get free, they often become entangled in the ropes and strangle themselves. One dairy owner reported that half the calves die shortly after birth. An Endless Cycle of Abuse Cows are beaten into submission and artificially inseminated so that they will keep producing milk. Although this practice should be performed by trained professionals, most cows are repeatedly inseminated by "barefoot healers" who ignore the most basic hygienic standards and use equipment that has not been sterilised, exposing cows to infections and diseases. Most of a cow's day is spent confined to a narrow, filthy stall. Cows are injected with Oxytocin, an illegal drug that causes them to produce unnaturally large quantities of milk and suffer severe stomach cramps as though they were in labour. Cows are impregnated repeatedly. They grieve for every calf they deliver who is ripped away a few days after birth. Cows often develop mastitis -- an infection of the udders -- from rough handling and rumen acidosis from unwholesome food. Other abuses documented by PETA's investigator include: * Calves were tethered with short chains, often without any shelter. * Workers kicked buffaloes to make them stand. Injured animals were hit with sticks and pulled by their tails. * Bleeding buffaloes were denied veterinary care. * Animals were covered in their own faeces. * Animals lived among heaps of garbage. * Drinking water was filthy.

Trip to the Hay Dairies Goat Farm On the 24th Feb 2008, a small group of vesporeans met up to ride around the Lim Chu Kang area to explore different farms. Our second stop was the Hay Dairies Goat Farm where we tried pure goats milk and then fed the goats. It too bad that we missed out on the milking process. Our trip was on the spur! It really felt like a school excursion, but I really enjoyed myself! :) More in my blog : http://rinaz.net/2008/02/rural-singapore/ Tags: Hay dairies Goat Farm Singapore |

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez on Allensworth Dairy At a rally on April 18, 2007, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles) spoke in a favor of Assemblymember Wilmer Amina Carter's (D-Rialto) Assembly Bill 576, a bill to prevent the development of a 12,000 cow mega-dairy near Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. Sponsored by the California Legislative Black Caucus, Carter's bill includes an amendment that "grandfathers" existing dairies but would create a 2.5 mile buffer zone around the park. The zone would protect the park from potential foul odor, flies and groundwater degradation from large scale, commercial animal feeding operations. Allensworth was founded by African-Americans almost 100 years ago. Col. Allen Allensworth was an escaped slave from Kentucky who became the nation's highest-ranking black Army officer at the time, and founded the community dedicated to Booker T. Washington's principles of self-help and self-determination. In 1976 then-Governor Ronald Reagan designated the community a state historic park. During the last few years, the State of California has spent approximately $13 million to preserve the community site.
