Is ‘slaughter-free dairy’ really possible?
The short answer is no - especially not in the name of animal rights.

Celebrities call for urgent action over horse deaths at Cheltenham
Posted on the 23rd March 2018
12 celebrities have signed an open letter calling for urgent action over horse deaths at Cheltenham. Six horses died at this year’s Festival, including four on the final day of racing.
Below is a copy of the letter, which has been sent to the press.
Dear Editor,
We were horrified to learn that six horses were killed at this year’s Cheltenham Festival, and that around 200 horses are killed as a result of racing on courses around the country every year.Â
This shocking death toll has been allowed to continue, unchecked, and we strongly believe that it is time for the government to intervene.
The racing industry has failed in its duty to protect these animals, and we are calling on the government to establish a fully independent body which will have overall responsibility for race horse welfare.
A petition has been set up, which supports this important objective, and we urge animal lovers to add their names to it straight away. This can be done by visiting www.animalaid.org.uk/horse-petition  Â
Yours faithfully,
Marc Abraham BVM&S MRCVS

Sarah-Jane Crawford
Peter Egan
Ricky Gervais

Dr Christian JessenÂ
