OPINION: Animal rights group SAFE has launched a new campaign attacking what it calls agriculture’s dirty secret, the production of foetal bovine serum (FBS).
It claims this involves killing cows during pregnancy and draining blood from unborn calves and wants the Government and the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) “to remove suffering from the supply chain”.
As usual, this campaign is based on disinformation, trying to provoke an emotional response. In reality, farms in New Zealand can legally send cows to slaughter up until their final month of pregnancy and the usual standards of humane killing apply.
Another farcical campaign from SAFE!
OPINION: The Government can crow about its ‘major effort’ to upgrade capacity on congested rural broadband networks but the reality on the ground is different.
OPINION: UK vegan activists, realising they are failing badly when it comes to coercing consumers to give up dairy, are becoming more disruptive.
OPINION: Dairy without the cow is coming to a fridge near you in Australia.
OPINION: The dairy industry has been under the spotlight for its bobby calves trade.
OPINION: Most plant-based ‘milks’ have lower amounts of four key nutrients – phosphorus, magnesum, zinc and selenium – than cow’s milk. The exception is milk substitutes made from pea protein, which have broadly similar levels to cow’s milk.
