Restraint: Ongoing campaigns to save dairy animals from unethical practices

Over the last few years, the number of dairy cows has increased globally in line with the rising demand for milk and dairy products. However, with a major focus on increasing the production of dairy cattle, these animals are subjected to a constant cycle of pregnancy and birth, thus affecting their health. Every year, dairy cows are impregnated using artificial insemination techniques, and newborn calves are generally taken away from their mothers within a day of birth, causing extreme distress to newborn calves as well as the mothers. Along with this, a large number of dairy cows are exported overseas under stressful conditions with little or no animal welfare protection. In addition, dairy cows are given recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which is contributing to an increased incidence of mastitis. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 24.8% of cows used for milk production suffered from mastitis in 2013, which is one of the leading causes of death in adult cows in the dairy industry.

In order to save dairy animals from such unlawful practices, a number of campaigns have been initiated across various regions. Some of these campaigns have been mentioned below:

  • In December 2015, SAFE (Save Animals From Exploitation), New Zealand’s leading animal advocacy organization, placed a graphic advertisement titled “New Zealand Dairy Contaminated with Cruelty” in the Guardian newspaper.
  • In November 2015, Animal Liberation Queensland (Australia) executed an animal welfare campaign titled ‘Ditch Dairy.’ This campaign emphasizes on the suffering of dairy cows and their calves to produce milk and dairy products.

Such ongoing campaigns and government initiatives targeting large-scale factory dairy farming practices are creating certain hurdles for small/medium-sized dairy farms in terms of increasing their scale of operations. This, in turn, is limiting the adoption of dairy herd management products.
