GE Action Campina in the Netherlands

Greenpeace brought two thousand liters of Campina milk from cows that are fed on genetic engineered cattle-feed back to the Campina head office. Activists pumped the milk through a fire-hose in a tank with which they blocked the entrance to the office. Activists gave empty milk packages back to the employees and presented the demands of Greenpeace to Campina. Greenpeace hereby protests against the fact that Campina feeds cows on genetic engineered food. This action is part of a large campaign on gmo-free cattle feed. In their commercials Campina uses the slogan: 'Campina natuurlijk!' which reads: 'Campina naturally!' with which the Netherlands' biggest dairy producer tries to express its concern for human beings, the environment and society.
