The MN State Fair claims to bring transparency to animal agricultural practices but instead it presents a highly sanitized version of the lives of farmed animals. Most of the farmed animals you see on display at the MN State Fair are living out the last days of their lives in crowded, stressful environments.
This year, we're asking that the MN State Fair move with the future of farming, choose to promote plant-based agriculture, and end the promotion of the unsustainable and unethical practices of farming animals.
Dairy cows are of special interest to our goal of ending the suffering of animals at the fair for three reasons. First, there are numerous dairy-related events at the fair involving the harming of cows, including the Dairy and Moo Booth and the Miracle of Birth Center. Second, consuming dairy products harms human health. And third, the breeding and farming of cows is harming our planet.
