Last year Mercy For Animals exposed animal abuse at dairy farms in British Columbia, Canada.
This has had some good results. The province has adopted standards for the care of dairy cows.

Even if the new guidelines do not go far enough, they acknowledge that there should be standards. It is easier to improve existing guidelines than it is to convince people that we need them in the first place. It took a fairly serious expose to bring this about.
I would count this as a victory.
