Nocton Dairies Ltd - RSPCA

Nocton Dairies attacks its welfare critics

Hang on a minute... you may also like to read the article:
'Super-dairy' may only meet 'minimum' welfare standards' by Andrew Wasley from The Ecologist (see link posted in this blog on 21st September).

This report concluded that unless Nocton Dairies Ltd are successful in obtaining funding from the RDPE, they may only be able to meet ‘minimum’ welfare and environmental standards.

If the RSPCA ... "will not talk to us", then I suspect they have a very good reason not to... particularly if it appears Nocton Dairies can so easily compromise their cow welfare standards!

You may like to read the many varied views here - it is quite an informative forum with contributions from the farming industry - not quite the 'antis' that Nocton Dairies Ltd always feel are on their case.
