Guest speaker:
Jessica Strathdee
Former dairy farm worker Jessica Strathdee will talk about her experiences as a dairy farm worker and her consequent journey to becoming a vegan animal rights activist. Whilst the dairy industry likes to paint a picture of idyllic farm life, Jess will talk from first-hand experience about the systemic abusive farming practices necessary to participate within the dairy industry. As a breastfeeding mother Jessica could no longer close her eyes to the abuse she was profiting from. With her partner and baby Jessica left the industry hoping to educate the public about the horrific realities of Aotearoa’s dairy industry.
