Female cows are forcibly artificially inseminated to become pregnant and continue lactating. After 9 months, the
dairy industry steals these baby calves shortly after they are born. The "worthless" males who can't make milk are
either killed immediately or kept in isolation for a few months to become veal. The unfortunate females calves
follow their mother's sad lot all the way to the last moments on the kill floor when they are no longer "productive".
Adult humans do not need cow's milk any more than they need goat's milk, wolf's milk, camel's milk, giraffe's milk.
Unweaned infants do remarkably better on their own mother's breast milk which is what our species was intended
to consume. There's absolutely nothing beneficial to the human diet in cow's milk that can't be gotten through
plant based sources.
Thankfully there's abundant plant based alternatives that are just as nutritional, just as satisfying and just as
versatile in cooking. Some even have twice the amount of calcium and vitamin D as cow's milk does.
Dairy is also destructive to the environment and a tragic waste of resources. Perhaps it is time for "unweaned"
adults to look beyond what deceptiveness and hype the dairy industry is pitching at you in order to keep their
profits and their cruel practices in check.
Bea, Where do you get your information? Have you ever been on a farm? As a dairy farmer, I find your comments to be offensive to the men and women who spend their days caring for these animals better than a lot of people care for their own children. Since when are bulls killed immediately? I think before you start promoting your own agenda get the facts and talk to a farmer you will probably learn a ot.
