Compassion Over Killing volunteers, along with a giant inflatable cow, just delivered more than 20,000 of your signatures against cruelty to Nestlé's doorstep in Arlington, Virginia. TAKE ACTION: Drive our compassionate message home by tweeting at the dairy giant today!
Today COK’s 20-foot inflatable cow joined volunteers in a peaceful demonstration at Nestlé's HQ against the hidden cruelty behind Nestlé's ice cream, exposed by a recent COK investigation: Hot irons are burned into calves' flesh to destroy their horns and tissue in a cruel, unnecessary process known as "dehorning" or “disbudding."
The activists held signs and handed out leaflets explaining that cutting ties with one farm isn't enough. Nestlé has the responsibility to push the industry forward by ending this painful practice once and for all.
COK also dished out free vegan ice cream samples to passerby, showing how delicious compassionate dairy-free options can be. As cow's milk sales curdle, Nestlé can be a true food leader by churning out more vegan options, starting with its Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream brands.
Finally, volunteers delivered more than 20,000 petition signatures directly into the hands of Nestlé officials, making sure that the company hears your voices urging it to moo-ve in a compassionate direction.
