Dairy cows don’t have a happy life

Do Dairy cows have a wonderful life?
No, of course not!
In Europe cows are forced to produce as much milk as possible. To force the cows to give lots of milk the dairy people do lots of things like giving hormones to the cows. Some cows in Dairy industries are given growth hormones. These hormones cause the poor cow’s udders to become big and heavy, and that causes infections.
Another hormone is the Bovine growth hormone and this hormone increases birth defects for the poor calf.
Oh, I forgot to tell you another Earth shattering fact!

Dairy cow with Cannula

People have fixed a window in the side of the cow. This window’s posh scientific name is Cannula. Thanks to this window people can look inside the cow’s stomach and see if her digestion is good. This way they can improve the digestion of the cow, and that way she will give more milk.
It must be horrible for the poor cow. Who would like a window in her side? And it can get infected.

And guess how much milk dairy cows produce per day?
They produce 100 pounds of milk per day. Surprising, isn’t it? And that is 10 times more than the natural produce of a cow.
A calf is separated from its mother almost afterbirth and kept in a small cage till it grows little fat and plump. Then it is slaughtered for its white meat.

  1. Ever been to a dairy farm and asked why they do the things they do? You must be a city slicker 'cause you don't have a clue! By the way, they don't nourish the world with their white meat, they produce red meat, idiot!

  2. Hey idiot - they're talking about raising veal, which are only fed milk or formula until they're slaughtered so that the meat retains a mild flavor and yes, white color.

    There's no mystery about why they do things the way they do - it's called MONEY. I have a small farm and only produce for myself, so I don't have to resort to such methods.
