Watch what happens when a bunch of activists go on a dairy farm tour…
The university of Florida held an event called “family day at the dairy farm” where they gave us a tour of the farm and explained all the terrors that happen there.
We watched as they taught kids how to artifically inseminate a cow, and as they showed off a baby that was removed from his mothers body at the slaughterhouse. We listened to them brag about the fistulated cow, and how their cows are “better for the environment”, we gave love to the orphaned cows who wanted to suckle so badly, and we said we’re sorry to the hundreds of mothers who already lost their babies, and to the mothers currently pregnant, who will soon lose their babies too.
After bearing witness and documenting the animals, we caused a disruption. No animals deserve to go through their life in such a terrible place, being looked at as nothing more than a number, a product with an expiration date.

It is the story of the loss of habitat, of all animal life and premature death. The swamp forests of the Leuser ecosystem are home to most of Sumatra’s orangutans, and Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world, thrives in its rainforests.
Four million indigenous people depend on their water supplies and food for the forests to be intact.
The biggest enemy: deforestation because of palm oil.
Most of the palm oil plantations have been set up illegally because there is no permit in protected areas.
“When the big companies go to these areas, they’ll cut down the biggest trees and then shave off what’s left – with machines or by fire. They kill all life there, including ants. Most orangutans die as well. I often refer to them as survivors of an apocalyptic wave, but they are also refugees.“
More than 60 million tons of it are consumed worldwide every year. Palm oil increasingly serves as a substitute for harmful trans fats and as a bio-alternative for various petroleum products. It has become a billion dollar business. But only very few people know that they even eat it. Many have never heard of it.
Palm oil is not cultivated by small farmers but by large international corporations. The peasants are robbed only of the land on which they can later work as auxiliary workers.
A recent report shows what happens to people when palm oil is grown:
They are imprisoned, tortured or murdered. In the Indonesian province of Papua everyone lives dangerously, who opposes the authorities. Serious human rights violations are on the agenda – and the world community takes little notice.
Semi-naked climate change protesters interrupted a House of Commons Brexit debate and glued their hands to the glass of the public gallery, spending almost 20 minutes with their buttocks facing the chamber.
MPs attempted to continue the debate during the peaceful protest by 11 activists from Extinction Rebellion, though several made coded mentions to the protest in their speeches.
Another of the activists, Iggy Fox, said: “I’m tired of the time and resources our government wastes rearranging the deckchairs on the Brexitanic. It’s high time politicians stop beating around the bush and tackle the environmental crisis head on, like they should have done years ago. I won’t stop causing disruption until the government does its duty to protect the people from disaster.”

Research by Animals Asia reveals the destructive torments, exploitation and violence faced by endangered bears, elephants and orangutans in Vietnam’s shameful animal circuses. Sign the petition now.
The video by PETA shows how small bears, from the time of their children, are trained for the circus. Although the video is from China, but we here, the so-called civilized Europeans do not do it much better.
We organzied this event under Orlando Animal Save and Direct Action Everywhere – Orlando
