LIC v. Alexandre Family Farm

On September 30, 2024, Legal Impact for Chickens filed an animal-cruelty suit against Alexandre Family Farm for pouring salt into cows’ eyes, dragging disabled animals across concrete, starving cattle, and more. The well-known dairy has several thousand cattle and sells its milk at Whole Foods. But an April 2024 exposé by animal-welfare charity Farm Forward revealed “systemic deception, cruelty, and animal abuse” at Alexandre. Farm Forward put the exposé together with the help of rancher whistleblowers.

Alexandre calls itself “America’s First Certified Regenerative Dairy” and advertises its products as certified organic. Yet the Regenerative Organic Alliance condemned Alexandre’s “wrongdoings” and noted that the Alliance had already suspended Alexandre’s certification based on the Alliance’s own investigation. And the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance (NODPA) has spoken out against Alexandre’s cruelty.

LIC filed its complaint in Humboldt County Superior Court. LIC seeks an injunction to protect Alexandre’s cattle. Please stay tuned.
