yet another tragedy … (10/03/14)
And to think that tragedies like the one mentioned below take place all day, every day, all over the world. Please consider removing your support for these inhumane acts of blatant cruelty by removing dairy from your diet … Thank you.
“When asked how should we ‘humanely’ treat cows, my answer is, ‘Well, a good start would be to not breed them into this world so we can impregnate them, steal their babies, steal their milk and then send them to slaughter in their youth when their mammary glands fail from abuse and overuse.’ There’s much more we could do to start treating cows humanely, of course, but this would be a good start.” ~ inspired by Robert Grillo

“Our beautiful rescued calf Tuttle died overnight …
When we saved Tuttle he had not received colostrum or spent any time with his mum. He was pulled from her with a tractor and put in a pen to await the truck to the slaughterhouse.
His mother bellowed for hours, unable to locate her baby. She was later led to the milking station, broken and defeated, to have her milk sucked from her by a machine.
Babies like Tuttle are considered ‘waste’, and sent to slaughter in their first few days of life. The milk these babies need to survive is taken for ADULT humans to use.
We did everything we could, but sadly Tuttle had no will to live without his mother. We will never forget you Tuttle.”
