Willie Nelson for the Cows

Willie Nelson is fighting for the cows are the country crooner has joined in on a campaign along with the Animal Legal Defense Fund to raise awareness about cruel- and illegal-living conditions for calves raised to produce milk for dairy products. The campaign is specifically targeting Land O’Lakes and Challenge Dairy to get them to stop using milk from calves that come from California’s Mendes Calf Ranch which confines calves in cramped, filthy crates without room to turn around or lie down and is the subject of a lawsuit brought by the ALDF. Nelson has written a letter to the companies to join the petition which is already at 22,000 people strong.
