There is a dairy very close to my house. I accompanied my children there for

class field trips when they were young about 20 years ago.

 

The cows are basically slaves. They are bred artificially. Yes they have a

hollowed out fake cow made from cow skin etc for the prize bull to mount with a

catch bucket. Impregnated cows have the embryos removed and implanted in rabbits

which are shipped to other dairies where the embryos are is removed and

surgically implanted into other host mothers. This is how dairy stock is bred.

 

A cow must be impregnated before she lactates and can be milked. Female calves

are kept for milking and males are immediately removed and kept in the dark and

fed milk for a week. they are then sold off as veal. The female calves are fed

by hand. Calves are never with their mothers.

 

Cows are milked by machines twice a day. They come to be milked voluntarily of

course as it would be extremely painful if their udders were not emptied.

 

Part of the cattle feed is cotton seed. Cotton is the crop mostly highly sprayed

with insecticides which when ingested are concentrated in the fat (cream and

butter).

 

The cows have 4 stomachs which process their food. A large magnet is surgically

implanted into the first stomach to catch bits of baling wire which are removed

periodically . Cows are given pepto bismol tables the size of a bottle to treat

upset stomachs.

 

When the cows no longer lactate and can no longer be milked they are given a 3

month break before being rebred. The dairy waste byproduct is sold to local

agricultural businesses for fertilizer.

 

We avoid dairy products as much as possible. Though it´s more costly we are

trying to switch to organic milk so that it will not contain all the hormones

cattle are fed to keep them lactating.

Are all cows in India treated this way? I am very surprised!
