In 2018, Animal Equality released undercover footage of calves being violently handled on an organic dairy farm in Somerset which supplied Waitrose.

We filmed young calves being thrown, slapped, and callously force-fed. Other calves were denied access to water for up to 29 hours on some of the hottest days of the year. Babies were routinely separated from their mothers less than 24 hours after birth – an inherent part of the dairy industry, where maternal bonds are broken so that milk meant for cows' babies can be bottled and sold to us.
Our investigation revealed that Coombe Farm failed to meet even the minimum legal requirements for looking after calves and fell well below organic and RSPCA standards, despite being certified by the Soil Association and RSPCA Assured.
Labels and awards can’t protect animals from suffering in the dairy industry, but you can. Choose from the many delicious cruelty-free plant-based milks now widely available – it’s never been easier to ditch dairy!
