British actress Thandie Newton has teamed up with PETA to star in its new video campaign, which exposes cruelty to cows and calves on dairy farms.

The Half of a Yellow Sun star reveals how newborn calves are taken away from their mothers so that the milk meant for them can be bought and consumed by humans instead, leaving the 'distraught mothers to cry out for their stolen calves for days'. Newton, who was named PETA's Sexiest Vegan Celebrity in 2014, commented 'Please, join me in standing up for all mothers by refusing to support the cruel dairy industry'.
