Better deal for cows

Written by 

UK supermarket giant Waitrose is banning milk from factory farmed cows as it targets animal welfare.

Waitrose cows must be guaranteed at least 100 days per year outside grazing year for the farmer to qualify as a supplier.

The move arises from a controversial 'zero grazing' policy of mega dairies; animal welfare groups claim cows in these milk factories spend all their productive lives inside, often being milked by machine.
