Clover Sonoma markets its milk as cruelty-free. Drone footage tells a very different story.

In late February, animal rights activists filmed workers at Agresti Calf Ranch in Ceres, California — a supplier to Clover Sonoma's dairy partner — kicking and punching young calves, pulling them by the nose with pliers, and removing their horns with a hot iron without anesthesia.

Temple Grandin, one of the country's leading livestock welfare experts, reviewed similar footage and was unequivocal: this is abuse.

The ranch is certified by the American Humane Society. Clover Sonoma suspended its supplier briefly — then reinstated them after a rushed audit, calling the abuse "isolated."

That's not good enough.

Clover Sonoma built its brand on a promise of humane treatment. Its website features the farm's owner. It was the first dairy company in the country to receive a cruelty-free certification. Consumers who pay a premium for ethical dairy products deserve more than a one-worker firing and a shrug.

Firing one employee doesn't fix a culture of abuse. Reinstating a supplier weeks after documented cruelty isn't accountability — it's damage control.

Sign this petition to demand Clover Sonoma permanently cut ties with Double D Dairy and Agresti Calf Ranch until a full, independent investigation confirms no animal abuse is taking place.
