\"\"<\/a>When Julianne Perry first met the calf this summer, the animal was lying listlessly in a wooden crate on top of narrow slats, caked in her own dried diarrhea. Maggots crawled on her body. Just a few days old, she was emaciated. As she tried to get up, her knees buckled. \u201cWe could tell she was dangerously dehydrated,\u201d Perry recalls. \u201cWe knew she probably wouldn\u2019t survive the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The calf\u2019s condition, Perry says, was distressing. But perhaps even more alarming was that her crate was just one among hundreds, lined up in rows, all filled with calves.<\/p>\n

Perry is a member of animal rights activist group Direct Action Everywhere<\/a> (DxE). One late evening last July, she and eight other DxE members had sneaked into a Land O\u2019Lakes dairy supplier called Zonneveld Dairies Inc.<\/a> outside Fresno, California, to film\u00a0and expose the calves\u2019 living conditions. Perry, a seasoned animal-welfare activist, expected a dismal scene, but what she saw that night really took her aback.<\/p>\n
