Kevin Eldon and puppet cow: a love story by Adam Miller creator of Mongrels

[MissBarghest]

MrKarttr is just a sick, attention-seeking troll. Nothing wrong with raising cattle for meat or milk. Just as long as they're treated well, have nice lives and are slaughtered humanely. Nice video. Love the puppetry and message.

[deadmanjones]

"You're not scale, but I'm here with you now." Genius.

[MrKarttr]

The best place for a cow is on your dinner plate, end of story.

what the hell is this?

[MrKarttr]

Cows are a menace to the ozone layer they are kept for milk and food only. Don't you think we should be looking at the bigger picture and drink soya milk or goats milk,and just kill off the remaining cows the world would be a better place. Think of your children and their children protect the world not the silly cows who are killing off the ozone layer.

@MrKarttr YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO MANKIND!!!! SICKO!!!!!

[paulo6sousa]

@MrKarttr Fuck you!

[roobarcrobar]

Well done everyone involved with this! Spread the word!

[OxfamGreatBritain]

Just wanted to reiterate what a couple of other people have said about the link of this video going to .oom instead of .com meaning you end up on an error page. It would be a shame to see you losing support because of a typo.

[sbongers]

I have a better idea. Why don't we just stop consuming dairy all-together? Less supply, less demand for something that's not really meant for us to consume in such large amounts anyway.

[QuestionMeWillYou]

When people begin eating only Grass...some group will say it's animal cruelty. When will some one start sticking up for Roaches?! Roaches have rights too!

Pretty cool vid. Just want to let you know that your annotation has .OOM instead of .COM coded as the redirect url

All dairy cows are separated from calves for milk...

Mothers should not be taken from their children

Search you tube for the video title:

Milk Comes From Grieving Mothers - Truth About Organic Dairy

[Lucy98761]

This suggests that cows enjoy their lives on traditional farms. But...

* All dairy cows are inside in sheds for 4-7 months of the year anyway - living in intensive conditions!

* Cows have to have a baby to lactate. Dairy cows are in an unnatural cycle of artificially insempinated and separation from their calves (very stressful!)

* Almost all dairy cows produce unnatural amounts of milk - not just on mega dairies

Dairy reality:

Animal aid > Video Vault > Where does my milk come from

[AgentMcgeek]

I found it really funny how the Nocton dairies Spokesman said "cows do not belong in fields". Who could think that sensible?

[1catanderson]

tried to post several times- all failed- not very use friendly

[1catanderson]

Mega dairies would be a disaster, lets hope this watchable & slick clip helps spread the word. By the way having to sign up for a YouTube a/c in order to leave a comment was a pain- sure it will many busy people off

I feel guilty about eating cheese and drinking milk. Poor cows.

[ahorsecalledgavin]

I thought this was insperational - I laughed and cried the whole way through. Hope it gets the message across to the people you don't normally reach which is kind of the whole point I think.

LMFAO

[wspainternational]

@mushroomsworks thanks a lot! twitter link is fixed now

[mushroomworks]

the twitter link in the description doesn't work, just a heads up!

[Kahepadu]

If one really loves cows, one should drink soya milk (or rice, oat, nut milk... or just water). Even if organic milk comes from cows who have a better life, they are still separated form their calves a few days after having given birth to them, and when their milk production decreases, they are sent to the slaughter house.

[MadHatter3Z3]

@Kahepadu

I love soy milk so fricken much XD.

[WSPAUK]

Hi @sapphirechicken, I'm one of the campaigners who worked on this and I thought I should let you know that we were lucky enough to have got this video created for free by a really dedicated group of people who all really care about keeping cows out of mega dairies :) hope that helps? many thanks, katharine for wspa uk

[sapphirechicken]

I am glad to see that you aren't wasting my hard earned donations on a frivolous waste of money like shooting and recording an irritating song that doesn't portray the seriousness of the issue. Oh, I stand corrected - yes you are. Please don't waste my money on stuff like this in the future. I would have expected better of you.

[Sherikana]

The dark cages look awful, but it does hide the fact that cows are not meant to give us milk, it is for their calves - if we didn't exploit them at all this would not happen. Even in the fields their calves are torn from them, the males often shot at birth as they are unprofitable.

[ostrogoths3000]

VERY GOOD THIS NEEDS TO BE SHOWN TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND HOPEFULLY THIS MEGA DAIRY WILL NOT HAPPEN.

[Julescoach]

Good light way to put across a very important point. Mega farming is not about anything but profit, they can justify it however they like but the simple fact it animals were not meant to be put in cages and treated like machines.

[Riverlady1]

Love this song, people that value their health, and care about the feelings of our farm animals get away from MEGA farming, the animals are treated like a money making machine with no feelings. No pus in my cream of wheat. just go organic.

[WSPAUK]

hi @rigragtag We've been researching, campaigning and lobbying on the serious side of this issue for a year now, and we felt the time had come to make a more 'popular' video to introduce the concept of mega dairies so we can get more people behind the cause. Please do take the time to check out our more serious vids as well, just search for the not in my cuppa campaign playlist, hope you like them more. Katharine for WSPA UK

[Bkind2AN1MAL5]

the primary source of salmonella, campylobacter, E.coli, & other foodborne pathogens found in poultry & meat is animal faeces, eating meat is eating poop, everyday,nearly 2400 americans die of some type of cardiovascular disease - one death every 36 seconds, in many of these cases, the disease is largely caused by eating a diet that is full of animal-derived products, oh & thats not even mentioning the hormones, antibiotics &all the other drugs farm animals are fed thats destroyingus& our planet

[Bkind2AN1MAL5]

@rewolf31 Water used in meat and soya production, for soya 3 trillion gallons, for meat 253 trillion gallons in 2009. animals raised for food produce 130 times more poop than does the entire human population of the US roughly 89,000 pounds per second, it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of animal flesh, all that grain could be used much more efficiently if it were fed directly to people.

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

Help stop the Mega Dairies. Yet again, its profit before welfare.

[rigragtag]

I know it's for a good cause, but that video upset me for all the wrong reasons. It just comes across as a piece of tongue-in-cheek rubbish undermining a serious problem.

[kokerboom1]

@rigragtag Thats a bit of a small-minded view - Most people don't give a stuff about animal welfare, where their milk or eggs come from from. The video is aimed at those people - and perhaps making them think a little about the seriousness of the issue while having a laugh. Or perhaps you think that when Comic Relief do the same thiing its also "rubbish"?

[rigragtag]

@kokerboom1 Its for a good cause, but yes, i think it's rubbish. I do appreciate the seriousness of the campaign and understand the importance of having a laugh, but whilst i hold those beliefs i think that being subjugated to something as tedious as comic relief is at the very least worthy of a negative comment. I do see the bigger picture, but i believe novelty to be boring, is it alright with you if i have that opinion?

[Bkind2AN1MAL5]

@rewolf31 ONE cubic centimeter (cc) of commercial cow's milk is allowed to have up to 750000 somatic cells (common name is "PUS") and 20000 live bacteria!.!.!.

[mushroomworks]

amazing spread spread spread, also buy organic as it means that it supports traditional style farming, for example cows in fields!

[Bkind2AN1MAL5]

I love this :D cows milk is gross, in 1cubic centimetre of cows milk there is allowed to be 750,000 somatic cells (commonly known as PUS) soya milk is ownage! GO VEGAN, ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

[rewolf31]

@Bkind2AN1MAL5 Try doing some basic biology before you throw statements like that around.

[Sherikana]

I used to work in a dairy - the milk often came in from the farms bright pink from poor cows with infected udders who were over milked.
