An animal activist organisation is calling for an investigation into the use of dairy cows in sexually explicit content posted on social media and adult entertainment subscription site OnlyFans.
Save Animals From Exploitation (Safe) is petitioning the Ministry for Primary Industries to stop the people producing video content ofa sexual nature directly involving cows.
The organisation said it was “deeply concerning” to see the mother cows who are “already being exploited for their reproductive systems” being further victimised by the videos.
The videos, some of which have been seen by the Herald, show women in bikinis performing routine farm tasks such as milking cows and sweeping the milking shed.
In one video, three women are seen kneeling beside the animals and drinking milk directly from the udder.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) was now speaking to the social media content creators about the footage.
“While an initial assessment of the video shows no breaches of the Animal Welfare Act, we will talk to the person involved to gather more information and satisfy ourselves that the animals are being properly cared for,” MPI director of compliance and response Glen Burrell said.
The ministry had also referred the content to police for their assessment.
