Casey Affleck PETA Ad Against Cow Dehorning (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 25th, 2012 in Actors, Animal Issues, Videos.

Comments Off

Casey Affleck has recorded a new PSA for PETA against dehorning calves in the dairy industry.

“Cows and calves struggle desperately during dehorning,” Casey says in the video. “Thrashing, tossing their heads, rearing up, switching their tails, bellowing, and collapsing to the ground—all signs of severe pain and distress. All these procedures are routinely performed without giving the animals any painkillers whatsoever.”

Dairy industry experts say dehorning is necessary as animals get aggressive on farms and will try to hurt each other with their horns. But animal welfare experts say the process isn’t always done at the optimum age or with proper pain killers.

Will Casey Affleck Open Vegetarian Restaurant In Los Angeles?

Casey Affleck told USA Today he has plans to open a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The vegan of 12 years joked that if you order a meat dish in front of him, he’ll “think so much less of you.”

Seen here is a video Affleck recorded explaining why he went vegan. He explains that although it was hard finding suitable food and clothing over a decade ago, so much has changed now. Could this be due to an increase in the demand for vegetarian products?

A report in 2003 by Natural Foods Merchandiser revealed sales of vegetarian products increased by 20 to 40 percent annually over a period of 5 years. In 1996, U.S. sales of vegetarian foods were $3.1 million. By 2001, those sales were $1.25 billion!
