Milk Board Takes Action. Destroys Milk from B.C. Dairy Farm

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

The B.C. milk marketing board issued a statement saying that it will destroy milk produced from the dairy farm at the centre of animal abuse controversy until additional independent audits have been completed.

This is the latest development after an undercover video produced by the animal activist group Mercy for Animals Canada, showed dairy cows being abused at Canada’s largest dairy farm, Chilliwack Cattle Sales. Eight workers who were identified in the video footage have been fired from the farm and are facing criminal charges.

Dairy processors including Saputo, have asked the province’s milk marketing board to halt milk delivery from the farm in question. Processors are required by law to buy milk from provincial marketing boards.

“The Board recognizes the need to respond to processors’ milk orders, and as such the Board will adjust delivery decisions as necessary given current circumstances,” the B.C. milk marketing board said in a statement.
