Leona Lewis Wants Milk From Battery Cows Banned In Britain

Plans to build a mega dairy in Britain have been scrapped, thanks to concerned citizens and environmental agencies.
Leona Lewis is one celebrity who is against buying and consuming milk from battery cows and finds it hard to understand why a plan like the one Nocton Dairy proposed would even be considered in Britain. She would like a complete ban of milk in Britain from cows in these factory farm settings.
“I think it is shocking that in a country like Britain – with our good reputation for animal welfare and farming – that we are even talking about intensive dairy farms… We won’t stop until we know factory milk from battery cows will never be allowed in Britain.”
After announcing it would not establish a mega dairy in Britain, Nocton issued the following statement:
“The sole reason for cancellation of the plans is the response of the Environment Agency, which has maintained its objection to the proposal. The environmental services said they lack information about the risks to the water-bearing layers under the farm and the uncertainty about the benefits that will bring to the soil when building such a farm.”
Ben Stafford, Head of Campaigns for Campaign to Protect Rural England, said: “This is a huge victory for rural campaigners and many of our members and alliance partners will be popping champagne corks tonight. Although Nocton are careful to say they have not bowed to public pressure, this battle has made it clear that the British public does not want to see US-style factory farming of livestock in the UK.”
“The proposals by Nocton could have started a trend in the UK that would have threatened the livelihoods of traditional dairy farmers and changed forever the distinctive and highly valued character of our landscape.”
A survey found most British people agree with Lewis. Sixty-one percent of them said they’d never buy milk from large scale farms if they knew the milk originated from them.
