The desperate need for accountability in the food chain... Print E-mail

If you are eating less meat but compensating with more cheese, please take a look at the sickening video, just released by Mercy for Animals in the USA, taken undercover at Conklin Dairy Farm in Ohio. The video is online at www.mercyforanimals.org

Please do not think that atrocities in the dairy industry are not happening right here in South Africa. Compassion in World Farming (South Africa) has received many calls of outrage at the treatment of calves, especially from the Eastern Cape areas. We alert the SPCA and the Milk Producers Organisation and follow up further.

Water Footprint

On World Water Day (22nd March) and on every other day, for that matter, we need to remember that meat-eating carries a giant water footprint.
Did you know? It takes 13 million litres of water to raise and convert one cow or ox into meat!
Did you know? To produce one portion of beef (250g) requires the same amount of drinking water that one person needs (at one litre a day) for 34 years of life!
