Downton Abbey star Peter Egan has teamed up with PETA to voice a new campaign to highlight 'the cruelty of the dairy industry'.

The video also marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death by reciting a passage from Henry VI over footage from a modern-day dairy farm. Egan says 'William Shakespeare wrote these words more than 400 years ago... but to this day, mother and baby cows continue to be torn apart and killed. You can help them today simply by choosing vegan meals'.
