A coMOOTe day of action to support sustainable farming

Friends of the Earth is calling on the Government to revolutionise the way we produce meat and dairy by industrial farming , which is dependent on intensive soy productionin South America, and to help protect the environment and farmers' livelihoods, while supporting a thriving and sustainable agricultural sector in the UK.

Manchester FoE has been raising awareness about the new Sustainable Livestock Bill,and have recently conducted a coMOOTe/MOOvement day of action www.jointhemoovement.co.uk to raise awareness of the campaign and to encourage people to join the movement for planet-friendly meat and dairy farming.On Thursday 7th October we coMOOted to the city centre in cow heads and outfits in support of rainforest-free meat and dairy. We got the bus from Chorlton to Oxford Road, walked to St Peter's Square and then took the Metrolink to Piccadilly Gardens where we handed out MOOvement business cards to commuter.

We know we can ditch factory farming and feed the world a healthy and tasty diet. But we need the Government to help farmers move to planetfriendly farming. We want you to join our MOOvement by persuading your MP to make the Sustainable Livestock Bill into a beefy new law.
