COWS: are meant to be free not meant to end up on your plate. Some people think well it's an animal our ancestors eat them, but hello our ancestors didn't have the technology we do today. They also didn't have the research about the cancers and sicknesses from meat. Well now we know what happens and that are bodies are not meant to consume MEAT and DAIRY PRODUCTS!
(some food for your brain tonight: real carnivores like leopards have extremely sharp teeth to tear through flesh. Long sharp claws to attach and tear apart their prey. Their intestines are about 6ft long unlike ours which are 20ft long. So the meat leaves their body sooner without causing damage. Imagine leaving a steak out in the sun for 3 days...yeah it probably would smell really bad and be nasty. Well that's exactly what happens inside your body. 98% is our normal body temp. plus staying in our bodies for 3 days, think about it that's nasty!)
So as you saw above cows are cute and get to run around and eat all the grass they want. WRONG! those are the luck ones but prepare yourself the following pictures are graphic. This is what happens behind closed doors to the cows in dairy farms and slaughterhouses.
First we have dairy cows! These are normal healthy cows feeding, using their mothers milk as it was made for!
(A little F.Y.I when I had my son he was 4 months premature so I had to pump milk for him to be fed by a tube. making milk without a baby next to you is HARD. I imagine it's the same for cows since there babies are taken from them. Well constant pumping causes purple sore nipples that soon rip and bleed. And I only pumped every 3 hours not all day. PAINFUL LET ME TELL YOU! So a cow has bloody puss oozing nipples that get pumped over and over and where does all that bleed and puss go? Yep in the milk. NASTY!)
Being a vegetarian can save many animals!!! Think about it, even if you didn't eat any animal products for 1 day a week it makes a difference all it takes is one person!
ARE YOU GOING TO BE THAT ONE PERSON? PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT!
keep a look out for more info up next is adorable little pigs!
I would suggest you visit a farm or at least learn some more about how animals are raised before you start trying to educate others. I have been around dairy farms my entire life and I have to say, most of your information is alarmingly incorrect.
ReplyDeleteDairy cattle are not constantly milked as your post seems to implicate. In fact a milking usually takes less than a few minutes and only happens 2 or 3 times a day. New milking machines have recently hit the market that allow cows to walk into the milker and be milked at there own free will and they work very well. Cows udders are also always disinfected and cleaned by hand before every milking to ensure that the udders are healthy and that the milk stays clean.
Unfortunately yes, there are some individuals out there they do not care for their animals (just as they are bad people out there that do not care for their kids) but the vast majority of American farmers care more about their animals than their bottom line. That is why they are in the business. There is little money in farming today and most farmers do it out of passion for their animals and way of life.
That is why I farm and I have yet to meet another farmer who would not back me up on that statement. Please do more research or visit a farm before you post again. It is hard enough being a farmer without people who know nothing about what we do trashing our way of life.
