But when award-winning actress, Miriam Margolyes, realised what really happens on dairy farms across Britain, she felt compelled to take action. Just like humans, cows must give birth to produce milk. That means that every single one of the 2.6 million cows who are killed in the UK each year is a mother whose babies have been taken from her so that the milk intended for them can be bottled and sold. It's the same story for cows across all farms. Whether intensive, free-range, organic-certified or accredited, there is a cruel cycle of suffering in all dairy farms across the UK and the world. British dairy farms received over £56 million annually in direct Government payments over recent years, making up nearly 40% of their profits. That's why Miriam Margolyes is joining Animal Equality in urging the UK Government to shift subsidies from the dairy industry to fund plant-based alternatives and offer financial support for farmers transitioning to arable farming or land rewilding programmes.
