The animal welfare inspection program started on Jan. 1, 2015. And on follow-up inspections with specific orders for what to improve, a tenth of all farms still weren't compliant with minimal animal welfare standards. Such cruelty is illegal under animal welfare laws and perhaps even criminal anti-cruelty laws. The Milk Board doesn't have to turn over the results of its inspections to law enforcement, and evidently, it's choosing not to. In other words, the Milk Board is a milk industry body enforcing the rules it created with methods of its own choosing.
