But you take their babies away. Do you not see the harm in this? There are many ex farmers who are now vegan because they couldn't do it any more, they knew it was wrong. Yes, I'm from the UK and the same happens here and everywhere else, boys are either shot or sent for veal, girls are separated from mum and end up like mum. When no longer producing enough milk, they are sent to a slaughterhouse. If that's not horrible, I don't know what is.

What Makes you so much worse than other vegans is that your from the UK, like me. Now if you knew anything at all about farming, you would know that in britain We the highest welfare standards in the world, english farms are nothing like some american farms.But do you know what makes me most mad about people like you?

It's the fact you say I rape and torture my cows. I care for my cows and love them, they are like giant dogs too me. Now stop saying that and get your facts right.

@friesiancowboy The dairy industry doesn't "seem awful" , it IS awful. Do you understand the emotional, mental & physical trauma that dairy cows suffer? Forced to become pregnant only to have their calf taken away. The calf is deprived of his/her mother and male calves are either shot or sent to a veal farm. It's hideous. When you hear a cow calling for her baby and the calf calling for his mother, you never forget it. All of this torture so we can steal a babies milk. It's wrong.

You dumb fuck, all vegans are the same, make the dairy industry seem awful so you can convert people to vegan. Let me tell you something, Its not. Ever been on a farm? Diden't think so. One last thing, Do you know what would happen to all the dairys cows and calves in the world if we all went vegan? They would all be shot as most dairy cows can not survive in the wild on their own these days

@cricket279 FUCK OFF

[cricket279]

Totally disgraceful to exploit sentient beings. Along with the meat/egg industry, the dairy industry is responsible for continually raping cows and taking their babies away so that we can steal the milk. It's immoral. Go vegan
