Indian Obsession With Milk Causes Hideous Suffering

The picture at the top of this blog is of cows in an Indian

dairy-those allowed into a small corral, which most do not experience

because they are usually chained into stalls for life. Many Indians

are addicted to dairy products, and many believe that they must eat

dairy products for health or religious reasons. Here is an eyewitness

account from a welfare worker surveying the damage after last week's

floods in Mumbai that might make soy milk seem the drink of choice

from here on out.

" The most affected area was Goregaon, where more than 2,000 buffaloes

have died. Now most of the dairies lie empty with no movement inside,

as the animals have died. A few dairies remained unaffected as [they

were] located in higher areas, and a few dairies had some surviving

buffaloes. [O]ne of the dairy owners ... had eight surviving buffaloes

from a total of 200, as they could release these animals, which swam

to another area and could survive. The other owner informed that ...

all his buffaloes survived the floods because the water level could

not reach beyond the neck region and the buffaloes stood with their

head up for breathing and hence could survive.

This is true. I looove indian food.

I 've just bought an Indian vegetarian cookbook. ( I couldn't find a vegan one)

and there is a lot of milk and butter (gee)

So I find myself substituting often.

that being said,,,, Mango Lassi, tastes real good with soy yoghourt.

My Hare Krishna friend swears there is a small part of the brain than

needs cows milk to enable people to be spiritual !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought in India the cow and bull were sacred animals and should be

left to live their own lives.
