I've volunteered for Edgar's Mission in the past and met Pam many times, and of course they do good like other rescues, but they do humanize animals to tug on heart strings and use specific language to demonise animal industries. They also don't explain why industries use certain practises.

I've worked on dairy farms, horse studs, children's farms and a private wildlife zoo. Animals don't think like us, they don't need to be humanized. I've seen enough animals eat their babies or just leave them for no apparent reason.

I had to clean and dry so many calves because the mothers didn't care.

To add some more: Post calving, the cows were taken onto the rotary, had their teats sterilised and milked into a bucket. That colostrum (first milk that contained antibodies the calves required) was then immediately bottle fed to the newborn calf who was left to rest in a cushy barn literally piled with fresh straw. Their umbilical cords were dipped in iodine to sterilise and help dry them out, and they got to peacefully rest in the warm barn with the other calves.

After being milked for the colostrum, the cow was put into a paddock right beside her calf so she could see and touch it, but it was kept safe on straw and not in the muddy paddock.

This arrangement ensured both the calf and mother would be monitored closely.

It's not a perfect industry at all, but then again, shady practises happen within every single animal related industry.
