Nearly 10,000 of you have spoken up against Nestlé’s nightmare since the release of Compassion Over Killing’s shocking investigation. Now make sure the food giant hears your voices loud and clear: Leave a polite Facebook post asking it to be a true food leader by ending gruesome horn removal and churning out more vegan foods, starting with vegan Edy’s and Dreyer’s ice cream!

This week, Nestlé announced a new research and development accelerator program to focus on “innovative ideas and concepts” that keep up with consumer trends. But periodically announcing new plant-based products isn’t sufficient to keep up with the droves of consumers who are ditching dairy in favor of the booming plant milk industry. It’s time for the food giant to significantly transition its dairy brands to vegan ingredients.

After being alerted to the abuse COK’s latest investigation documented, Nestlé responded that it immediately severed ties with Martin Farms. However, the company has yet to address the systemic nature of the issues our investigation uncovered.

We exposed brutal yet everyday practices that can be seen inside dairy farms across the country, including bloody hoof trimming; the heartbreaking separation of day-old calves from their loving mothers; and hot irons being burned into calves’ flesh to permanently destroy their horns and growth tissue in a cruel process known as “dehorning” or “disbudding,” used at 94% of US dairies.

As the world’s largest food and dairy company, Nestlé has the ability—and the responsibility—to implement immediate systemic changes to push the dairy industry forward by eliminating the cruel removal of calves’ horns and horn tissue for its products once and for all.

And as more and more consumers eschew dairy’s cruelty, to be a true food leader Nestlé must help pave the way for the plant-based revolution by shifting its supply chain significantly toward vegan ingredients.

SAMPLE COMMENT: I was appalled by Compassion Over Killing’s investigation exposing cruel horn removal in your supply chain. As the world’s largest food and dairy company, Nestlé has the ability—and the responsibility—to implement immediate systemic changes to push the dairy industry forward by eliminating this practice once and for all. And to be a true food leader, Nestlé must help pave the way for the plant-based revolution by shifting its supply chain significantly toward vegan ingredients—starting with vegan Edy’s and dairy-free Dreyer’s!
