This is how ice-cream is made, from the dairy cow that has here baby taken away as early as 4 hours after birth if its a male1 Hes put into a crate, not fed his mothers milk, and turned into veal dishes. When she cant produce anymore milk or have any more calfs, well, and now the REST OF THE STORY! Sharing: Barrie Massarsky Rissman shared The True Face of Dairys photo. Id like to think that meat-eaters will read and remember this next time they want a steak or a hamburger, that they will care and be moved at all to stop contributing to this horror, these atrocities committed against other sentient beings, but I know they wont. What I dont know is why. Her body becomes so calcium-depleted, her feet and legs so weakened, her body so emaciated that it is no longer cost effective to keep her. She becomes what industry calls a “cull” or “spent” dairy cow. The spent cows our inspectors see at livestock markets and slaughter plants in North America are heartbreaking. These cows are often lame, emaciated and weak. Lameness has many causes including sole ulceration, laminitis, and hoof rot. Some cows have internal disorders such as twisted stomachs, torn udder ligaments, acute or chronic mastitis (a painful bacterial infection), or are simply so weakened that they become what industry calls “downers”. Downers are non-ambulatory animals that are unable to rise, to stand or to walk without assistance. They may be non-ambulatory for a number of reasons: broken or dislocated hips, broken leg bones, ulcerated or infected hooves, or severe exhaustion. As soon as their milk production drops, they are sold at auction for slaughter. The transport to the slaughter plant can be very long for these weakened animals - in the United States, cows can legally be transported for up to 28 hours without food or water. This worker is hosing the cow in an effort to get her to stand. Downer cows cannot be slaughtered for human consumption. The dairy industry is based on physical and emotional abuse of animals. Ditch the cruelty, ditch the dairy. Text courtesy of Animals Angels Image shared from EligeVeganisimo
