Before you drink milk, eat cheese, yogurt or cream pause for a moment. The realization of your actions are……. that make calves are a waste product for the dairy industry and the females are separated from their mothers and forced into a life of annual pregnancy for humans to drink milk. A cow must give birth to a calf every year of her ‘useful’ life to produce milk before being sent yo slaughter. .#barbaric The calf is usually forcibly snatched from its mother after birth. The mother cow's cries are heartbreaking as she watches her new born calf disappear forever. #barbaric 💔 Because male calves do not bring any money, they are often simply discarded, and left to starve to death. If they are sold, most of them have to endure a long journey, broken legs, hunger, thirst, petrified only to be transported to a third country where a cruel death 🔪 awaits them. They undergo this suffering so that people can drink milk every day. 🥛 Of course, there are a few exceptions where the calf can stay longer (a few days or weeks) with its mother before they are fattened and slaughtered. However, these farms are still the exception. #roseveal Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gwTNYaFt #DidYouKnow #DairyIndustry #Milk
