More cattle kept in UK ‘megafarms’, BBC finds

More cows could be kept indoors for the whole of their productive lives, #AnimalWelfare campaigners have warned, after the BBC found a rise in “megafarms”.

Freedom of Information (FOI) requests by the BBC show the number of larger-scale #beef and #dairy #cattle #farms in Britain has increased from 756 to 802 in five years, now holding more than 915,000 #cows.

Campaign group Compassion in World Farming (CiWF) said the rise in large-scale #CattleFarming was “deeply concerning” as many would be intensive #megafarms housing #cattle all year round.

The truth is, for Bank of America, it's not about the existential threat that JBS poses to the Amazon — and all of life on earth — it's all about the #money.

For the future of the Amazon,

We know the #meatIndustry is devoid of ethics and often abuses #migrants and slave #prisonLabour.

But…

We can't share just how depraved it is. An interview with the Chief Investigator for the #HumaneFarmingAssociation, #GailEisnitz and author of 'Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the US Meat Industry' is #banned because its on #RT.

Searx results also seem to be #censored.
