Battery’ dairy of 8,000 cows sparks protests
In The Sunday Times
Viva! and Vegan Lincs working together to oppose the Diary Farm (my name
spelt incorrectly!)
A GIANT factory farm for “battery cows” is being planned for the British countryside with an 8,000-strong herd, a 24-hour milking operation and cubicles covered with sand instead of fresh pasture.
The Lincolnshire herd will be the biggest in Britain but rarely see sunshine. It will produce more than 430,000 pints of milk every day. Slurry from the cows will be used to produce power and may be sold to the national grid.
Concern for Environment Underpins Dairy Protest
Although I was pleased that an interview with me was included in your report 'Dairy plan is to face opposition by vegans' (February 19), I was also shocked that many of my views were left out. I realise that you have limited column space, but I feel the article did not give a true representation of my reasons for objecting to the planning application for the Nocton "super-dairy".
