Did you know? … (01/28/17)
Did you know that dairy cows only produce milk when they are pregnant? It makes sense, and yet we aren’t taught that when we were younger. No, somehow we were given the insane impression that “cows just make milk” — the insane notion that making milk FOR US is their job … And we were never told that their newborn babies — who they adore just as much as any human mother adores her newborn baby — are stolen from them after birth, with the males being killed to make “veal” and the females being raised on formula until they were old enough to take their mother’s place on the milking line (after their mothers had dried up from over-milking and been turned into cheap hamburger meat) …
Just as horrific, we were never told that dairy cows aren’t allowed to decide when they get pregnant – or how they get pregnant – or by whom. For dairy cows do not get to make these choices … No, instead they are forcibly tied to a “rape rack” and then sexually assaulted by dairy farmers — men & women who stick their arms all the way into the cows’ rectums while placing insemination rods into their vaginas.
I didn’t know any of this stuff for the first 45 years of my life, and was absolutely shocked to find it all out — just as I am sure you are … Of course, after learning all of this, I simply stopped supporting the industry that is doing it — just as I have faith that you will now as well.
Thank you for that.
