UDDER PUS! Say NO to Dairy!

Corporate-owned factories where cows are warehoused in huge sheds and treated like milk machines have replaced most small family farms. With genetic manipulation and intensive production technologies, it is common for modern dairy cows to produce 100 pounds of milk a day— 10 times more than they would produce in nature. To keep milk production as high as possible, farmers artificially inseminate cows every year. Growth hormones and unnatural milking schedules cause dairy cows' udders to become painful and so heavy that they sometimes drag on the ground, resulting in frequent infections and overuse of antibiotics. Cows— like all mammals— make milk to feed their own babies— not humans.


Male calves, the "byproducts" of the dairy industry, endure 14 to 17 weeks of torment in veal crates so small that they can't even turn around. Female calves often replace their old, worn-out mothers, or are slaughtered soon after birth for the rennet in their stomachs (an ingredient of most commercial cheeses). They are often kept in tiny crates or tethered in stalls for the first few months of their lives, only to grow up to become "milk machines" like their mothers.

I had this conversation with someone-- She somehow thought that cows were magical and just made milk by themselves without having to give birth, as if they didn't have to be artificially inseminated! Psh.

who was the first to suckle a cow's udder to begin with ... what a pervert!

milk is natural cows make it, cammels make it, Humans make it.

it isnt as bad as most people think though, unlike factory farming sows and hens cows can move around, eat when they like, sit where they like, drink when they like i dont see anything wrong with that, and on alot a farms they can now choose when they get milked. Surely the wouldent choose to get milked if they feel in pain and are mistreated.

One last thing, dont blame the farmers, its not there fault people want cheap milk!

@metalspork42: Plenty of people think that. Although nowadays, we've bred cows that pump out milk longer and in much greater quantities than is natural.
