TODAVÍA ES UN BEBÉ
LO ÚNICO QUE QUIERE ES SU MAMÁ..
PERO NO LA VOLVERÁ A VER..
VA CAMINO AL MATADERO...
PARA QUE ALGUNOS HUMANOS DISFRUTEN UN ASADO..
Cows are extremely gentle and affectionate animals. They form strong bonds with one another, particularly between mother and child. As Michael Klaper M.D. recalls:
"The very saddest sound in all my memory was burned into my awareness at age five on my uncle's dairy farm in Wisconsin. A cow had given birth to a beautiful male calf... On the second day after birth, my uncle took the calf from the
mother and placed him in the veal pen in the barn—only ten yards away, in plain view of his mother. The mother cow could see her infant, smell him, hear him, but could not touch him, comfort him, or nurse him. The heartrending bellows that she poured forth—minute after minute, hour after hour, for five long days—were excruciating to listen to. They are the most poignant and painful auditory memories I carry in my brain."
THE DAIRY/VEAL CONNECTION:
"Dairy cows are artificially inseminated by means of the “rape rack” to remain in a cycle of pregnancy and childbirth so they can continuously produce milk. They are constantly hooked up to painful milking machines which often leads to the development of mastitis. Mastitis is is a painful infection of a cow’s mammary glands that causes irritated and swollen udders that excrete blood and pus along with the milk.
The stress on their bodies is so great that they often collapse on the way to the slaughterhouse and must be dragged to their premature death at age 5. Their natural life expectancy is 25 years.
However, half of the calves born to dairy cows are male and cannot produce milk, rendering them useless to the industry. So what becomes of them? Veal.

Veal calves are separated from their mothers almost instantly. They live out the few short weeks of their miserable lives in crates so small they can’t turn around or even lie down properly so their meat will be more tender. Veal calves are provided a protein-deficient diet in hopes of inducing anemia. This causes their meat to be a more “desirable” shade of white.
Still calves, these babies are given their first real opportunity to walk (if they even can) as they’re led to their gruesome death at the slaughterhouse."
Have enough heart to do your part in ending this by choosing only dairy-free products. If you want milk- try soy, almond, rice or coconut milk. Ice cream is also made from these plant-based milks and they're all delicious! Cow's milk is for baby calves, not humans. Shouldn't be hard to understand. Not your mom, not your milk!
