#73Cows

73 Cows is a film my Alex Lockwood about Bradley Nook Farm. The farmer, Jay Wilde, grew up around cattle farming, though faced reservations about the ethics of raising cows for food. When he inherited the 172 acre Bradley Nook farm from his father in 2011, he moved from dairy farming to organic beef production, believing this to be less harmful to the cows. In summer 2017, after meeting with The Vegan Society, he and his wife Katja gave most of their herd to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary and took up vegan organic farming.
The film was shown in the European Parliament (5 March) at an even hosted by John Flack MEP (European Conservatives and Reform Group) and was followed by a discussion with the Human Society International and experts on the need to reform current agricultural practice.
John Flack MEP is the Vice-President of the European Parliament Animal Welfare Intergroup.
