Dairy and Veganism: Why not drink milk?

In this article we explain why vegans reject dairy consumption.

Overall, Veganism rejects any kind of animal exploitation. Many people believe, however, that use milk from cows not involve any harm. Free and grateful to the company that exploits the idyllic image of cows are like advertising displays we have. But the reality is very different.

A dairy cow in both industrial and ecological farms is simply a property. It is a means to make money. They are raised in order to be productive for the farmer and the quality and length of life depends on this productivity. Reject dairy cows of respect

Where is the calf

One of the key questions we can ask is where the calf is. We know that cows do not give milk and gives a tap water. Cows, like all female mammals, have to become pregnant and give birth, the mammary glands to give milk.


The cows, they are inseminated each year approximately. If the calf is born of that pregnancy it is male, is separated from his mother shortly to milk for human consumption will not drink. Your destiny is to be sold for meat. It will end, after a short life of confinement, in the slaughterhouse ... The beef sold in supermarkets is, in short, another product of the dairy farm.

The cows are killed when no longer profitable

On the other hand, any businessman interested feed animals that are not productive him. Approximately 5 years after giving birth to 4 or 5 calves as, cows are much less productive, so it takes them to the slaughterhouse and are replaced by their daughters. A cow can live between 20 and 25 years, but it kills 5 years. Their meat, leather, bones, etc. They will also be used by industry.

This description is very cold and quite dehumanized, but the reality is rather crude, because we can imagine the suffering caused to both the mother and as the child separation, or forms of insemination, marking won, etc. ...

Conclusion

Cows are properties whose holdings frustrated their basic freedom to the relationship with their children as and neighbors ... and life interests. The cows and their offspring are true slave. Promote milk is to perpetuate this domination.

The life of the cow is not respected. The life of the cow depends on whether productive or not, when ceases to be (at 5 years approx.) It takes to slaughter.

The dairy industry is the industry in which the meat or leather the steaks are the bodies of the children of dairy cows and leather is the skin of mothers and their children.

Like skin color, sex or our intelligence, the species to which we belong does not make us more or less worthy of respect. Let's cows, pigs, chicken, tuna or human to all our lives we care and we want to live in freedom.
