Dairy Victims - Cows
After years of use, exploitation, torment, continual forced pregnancies, and having her newborn torn from her at birth, the cow used for her breast milk in the dairy industry is considered “spent” and sent to slaughter. She is generally between the age of 4-7 years old, a mere fraction of her natural 25-30 years. Because she can no longer produce the impossible and unnatural quantities of breast milk demanded by the farmer and consumer, she is discarded at the slaughterhouse and ground into low-grade hamburger for fast food restaurants. She often arrives at the slaughterhouse with udder painfully engorged, dripping milk and in different stages of pregnancy but, still, is shown no mercy.
