Baby Calves Stolen From Their Mothers and Treated Cruelly - Free Baby Mendes!
Target: Land O’Lakes and Challenge DairySponsored by: Animal Legal Defense Fund
Imagine a place where baby calves are taken from their mothers just hours after birth and shipped away to live in cramped, filthy crates with barely enough room to move.
This shocking scenario is a sad reality for the young calves at Mendes Calf Ranch in Tipton, California.
Calves live by themselves in crates so small they can’t even turn around or lie down naturally. They have to contort their bodies simply to move around in the small space, which is often covered with their own excrement.
Land O’Lakes and Challenge Dairy are two of the major dairy producers who use milk from cows who were confined at Mendes Calf Ranch. But you can help Free Baby Mendes – and the up to 12,000 other calves that Mendes confines every day of the year.
These practices are unnecessary, unacceptable and a violation of state animal cruelty laws!
Alert Land O’Lakes and Challenge Dairy about what is going on at Mendes Calf Ranch — and tell them consumers won’t tolerate such animal cruelty!

This is disqusting what we do to God's animals. Then people wonder why we have so much chaos and an unbalanced in the world look at the way we treat eachother, nature, animals.

Animals are the same as humans. We both feel pain,bleed red, and get scared. Only difference is they can't cry out for help.
