Dairy Industry: Undercover Investigations Hurting Business

Joe Loria January 14, 2016
A recent survey by the
University of British Columbia found that undercover video by animal rights
groups is highly effective in educating the public on meat, dairy, and egg
production.
The survey included nearly
500 U.S. consumers. The vast majority said that factory farm footage left them
with a negative view of animal agriculture and made them less likely to consume
animal products.
Jim Drickell, a dairy
industry representative, reports these findings. He
expresses concern that videos by animal protection groups are adversely affecting
business.
The survey also revealed
that millennials are less likely to purchase cow’s milk and more likely to use
alternatives like almond or soy than other populations. “The bad news is that
these young millennials represent the future, Drickell laments.
This is all great news for
the millions of cows who are forced to live miserable lives on factory farms.
