dc.description.abstractThis study examined the public perceptions of dairy farms on the environment by examining comments to a TikTok video, which presented a claim that the dairy industry has had a decrease in its environmental impact. A content analysis was conducted with initial and secondary evaluations, finding 5 broad categories which included positive and negative perceptions of the dairy industry, as well as a further 6 themes comprised of informative, clarification, blaming humans, veganism, critical, and education. The most common theme was informative, encompassing 38% of the relevant comments. The findings indicated proficient use of scientific research, and critical considerations of the video, and reflected the biases and influences found in social media and popular culture.
