“I want everyone to join me in saying a big ‘no’ to milk from mega-dairies. Why should people put up with factory milk from battery cows when we’ve already proven we don’t want eggs from battery hens? It’s hardly the milk of human kindness. We can do better than this, so please go to www.notinmycuppa.com and tell the supermarkets how you feel about this today’.”

—Chrissie Hynde, on a proposal to bring Nocton Dairies, a mega-dairy farm to Britain. The facility would house several thousand cows in indoor sheds and require each animal to produce 10,000 liters of milk each year, some sources cite as being as much as 43% higher than the national average. Cows subjected to produce large volumes of milk like that is expected at a large farms are more likely to experience medical issues, such as mastitis, an infection in the cow’s udder.

Here’s what the plan could mean in terms of animal welfare and the environment:
