Leprino Foods, the world’s largest mozzarella cheese maker
and a supplier to Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and Papa John’s restaurants, has just
announced the most comprehensive animal
welfare policy ever adopted by a major U.S. dairy
company. It includes an aggressive, industry-leading commitment to eliminate
tail docking, which will reduce the suffering of thousands of cows each year.
The precedent-setting policy was prompted by a shocking undercover
investigation by Mercy For Animals at Winchester
Dairy in New Mexico—at the time a supplier to Leprino Foods—which exposed
workers viciously punching and kicking cows, stabbing cows with screwdrivers,
whipping cows with chains and metal wires, shocking cows in their genitals, and
dragging sick and injured cows with tractors. Winchester
Dairy temporarily shut down after the
investigation.
