This is Polly. At Oak Lodge Farm in Leicestershire, Polly will never graze in a field. It’s a zero-grazing farm, so its cows are kept inside all year. A robot milks them. No one seemed to notice how much pain Polly was in. She was so lame that simple daily tasks became excruciating. In one moment, she spends 25 minutes trying to step up onto a four-inch platform. In the end, she gives up. Mabel is suffering just as much. She can hardly hold up her own weight. Oak Lodge supplies Tesco. It’s part of Arlagården, Arla’s supposedly “industry-leading” welfare scheme, and it has won industry awards for cow health. So this is 'industry-leading welfare'. This is as good as it gets. There’s no kind way to use animals for their milk. They are not objects to be used for profit, despite what farmers think. Don’t fall for The Big Milk Con.
