Battery farm for cows: 8,000 animals to be housed in milk factory
Vegan Lincs in Daily Mail
A factory farm housing more than 8,000 'battery cows' will be built in the English countryside.
Under the controversial plans, Britain's largest ever dairy herd will be kept in industrial-scale sheds with little access to pasture or sunshine.
The cows will be milked around the clock to produce 430,000 pints each day - while their slurry will be recycled to generate power for the national grid.
