UK consumers have listened and purchased according to the message – animal welfare matters – and purchased 35 million more free range eggs – so campaigners must be doing something right ! – SAV.
Free range eggs have outsold those laid by
caged hens for the first time.
Major supermarkets are committed to ending sales of caged eggs – and official figures show consumers are backing the move.
From October last year to June 35million more free range eggs were produced by UK farmers than eggs from caged and barn-raised hens.
Well done everybody who supported and took action on this campaign – you have achieved a positive result to dramatically help horses – but now further action is required to STOP other organisations stepping in and taking over on your victory congratulations on the MSD action ! – SAV.
Mark,
You did it!
After years of investigative work by the Animal Welfare Foundation, its partners in Uruguay, and hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members like you taking action, Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) has cut all ties with horse blood farms in South America!
Thank you for campaigning against this sickening business. And thank you for not shying away from confronting the biggest and most powerful corporations out there.
Together, we’ve moved a pharma giant.
Together, we are a force to be reckoned with.
But we cannot stop here.
Cruel horse blood farms will still operate as long as there are pharma companies willing to buy their products — and the next big player could step in and take over the business MSD has left behind.
Mark, will you share our campaign against IDT Biologika with your friends?
The more we are, the better our chances of getting IDT Biologika to stop working with these torturous blood farms as well.
Or you can copy and share this email if you prefer:
Dear Friends,
Big pharma is making huge profits from the torture of horses. Thousands of horses are raised purely for the purpose of having their blood extracted and sold — with dire consequences.
It’s a sickening business that the SumOfUs community has been standing up against for months. And together we just scored a major victory against it! Pharma giant Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) cut all ties with the most notorious blood farms we know about!
Now we need to stop the next big player — IDT Biologika — from stepping in and taking over the business MSD has left behind.

Don’t support this cruelty by drinking cows milk:
In all my years doing live export campaign work; the thing that used to get to me the most was witnessing truck loads of baby calves destined for the veal farms of Europe. You could hear the transporters often before you actually saw them, such was the noise of hundreds of baby calves desperately bellowing for their mothers. They would never see them again – such was the human want for veal steaks and money.
That is why I gave up meat a long, long time ago and turned to a cruelty free diet – I cannot support the dairy industry or anything that involves meat production. To me it is all an industry of cruelty and animal exploitation in return for a financial result.
Some will think I am stupid for what I do and that is fine by me.
In my opinion, when those same folk have heard it, seen it and smelled it then they can criticise me, but not before. They are the kind who just want to turn the other way and try to pretend that there is nothing wrong.
Well, in my opinion, they are the ones who are wrong.
There is something desperately wrong with the whole animal farming process.
Below is one of hundreds of photos I took of calf transporters going through Dover port in England.
Click on the image to enlarge it and you will see the tongues of many calves licking the bars of the transporter. They are trying to get milk as they would naturally from their mothers. They would endure this for another 8-10 hours before they arrived at Dutch veal farms where they would be given a cheap and crappy milk substitute to drink. They would never taste their own mothers milk ever again. Now confined to a crate and waiting for death in the name of veal in 6 months or less.
That is why I don’t do milk or meat – cows milk is for baby cows, not humans.
Other images below form part of the investigation reports into calf exports submitted to the EU.
With thanks to friends at PMAF. See more about this at ‘About Us’ – tab at top of page.
