Read strong arguments in favor of banning all tethering of cattle.

Our first white paper “Untying the chains: A Comprehensive Report on the Tethering of Cattle” provides you with comprehensive information on the cruel way in which ‘dairy cows’ and ‘beef cattle’ are kept. It provides strong arguments in favor of banning the tethering of cattle.
