I don't need 17 things,Just sugar and milk is fine.
By consuming dairy, you're funding these abuses done to innocent dairy cows:
Restraint / Restricted movement
Repeated Artificial insemination (anal and vaginal rape, sexual abuse) and forced pregnancies
Electroejaculation (Forced ejaculation, anal rape, sexual abuse)
Dehorning / debudding (cutting / burning off horns, without anesthetic)
Ear tagging (no anesthetic)
Tail docking (cutting off the tail, no anesthetic)
Branding (no anesthetic)
Nose ringing (to prevent the baby calve from suckling, no anesthetic)
Udder singe (burning an udder to remove the hair, no anesthetic)
High stocking density (cramped, unhygienic conditions, infections go untreated, shit everywhere)
Cannibalism (Blood and Bone Meal, How do you think Mad Cow started?)
Separation from child (calves) immediately after birth (so we can get that milk)
Killing of calves immediately if deemed unprofitable (throat slit alive, bolt to head, hammered to death)
Veal calves (Social deprivation, tight confinement, and restricted movement [to keep the meat tender], killed at 4-6 months of age)
Growth Hormones and antibiotics
Induced milk production through selective breeding and hormones (Leads to mastitis, milk fever, early death)
Pre-Slaughter Transportation and Starvation (Exposed to elements in extreme winter cold and summer heat, purposefully starved to decrease risk of fecal contamination)
The murder of someone who does not want to die (bolt in the head, throat slit, skinned alive)
Killed at only 5 years old on average (natural lifespan is 20 years)
Cows milk is for baby cows!
If you dislike these practices, you can easily stop funding them by going vegan.
I'm going to buy a burger after work becuase of this comment alone.
Taking our anger out on innocent animals and harming the environment and your own health because of a comment on the internet is the sign of a strong mind.
Trying to guilt trip everyone with a novel just because you read the word milk is not helping your agenda. Just a heads-up.
I'm glad we agree
