Tudo sobre tudo

Dear Lourenço Nisticò,

PETA just completed an undercover investigation of Adirondack Farms, LLC, a dairy factory farm in Clinton County, New York, that takes 180,000 pounds of milk from about 1,800 cows every day. While at Adirondack Farms—which sends that milk to the self-proclaimed "largest supplier of farm fresh milk in New England" and the producer of Cabot cheese—PETA's investigator found that workers routinely used poles and canes to hit cows in the face, udder, and torso, as well as on their hindquarters and limbs.

One farm manager was caught on video by PETA's investigator as he electro-shocked a cow in the face repeatedly. The same manager jabbed a downed cow in the ribs with a screwdriver and used a skid steer to drag her approximately 25 feet. Some cows with bloody vaginal prolapses that became covered with pus and manure were left to suffer, untreated, for almost three months.

PETA's investigative video also captured some of the dairy industry's standard, painful practices, including the dehorning of a calf—just one of the millions subjected to this procedure each year in the U.S.—in which her horn buds were burned off her head without any pain relief whatsoever.

Please join us now to help ensure that the most egregious abuses of cows are stopped at Adirondack Farms and the rest of the Agri-Mark member farms!

Send an e-mail to Agri-Mark CEO Dr. Richard Stammer and politely urge him to implement policies immediately to help end cruelty to cows on cooperative members' farms and improve the animals' welfare.

After you send your e-mail to Agri-Mark's CEO, please help end the suffering of calves and cows for dairy products by going vegan if you haven't done so already.

For all animals,



Daphna Nachminovitch
