Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 my friend Gisbo wrote this, in spanish i translated it into english, because I though it was meaningful. ( sorry if there are errors) love, anouk One of the biggest myths that humans have is that cows need to be relieved of their milk, to be milked by man, so that they won't explode, how can people be so illusive to think that an animal naturally depends on human beings? what would that cow do without human beings, not exist? That is an absurd theory of the Lactating parasite, the human. Now I will tell you what really happens, and why cows " need " humans. First, they are artificially inseminated, after they have given birth their young are separated from their mothers, enclosed in very small spaces, chained and immobilized so that they won't lose body weight nor develop muscles, they are feed an anemic diet so that their meat is pink and " tender and Juicy " . The mother cow, the ones which I began talking about, are chained too so that their breasts can be connected to machines that vacuum their milk, this machine hurts their nipples, if you are a woman, you will understand this better. Imagine a machine hanging from you nipples for hours suctioning your milk. After that in addition to this they are injected large quantities of hormones, so that her milk production, be " optimal " and so that she will not stop producing it. (this is where your dependency is human). They are also injected with antibiotics so that she won't get sick, from standing up so much. Later when the milk production diminishes, these mother cows are not returned to pasture to live out their lives, they are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse to be sold as " meat " So if you think that being a vegetarian is compassionate to animals, think again. You have no excuses but your own egoism! Veganism is the way to care about the animals, life and the planet. (I also want to point out with this vegetarian theme that here in Argentina and in other countries all cheeses have Rennet. It is made by coagulating milk to give curds which are then separated from the liquid, whey, after which they can be processed and matured to produce a wide variety of cheeses. Milk is coagulated by the addition of rennet. The source of rennet is the stomach of slaughtered newly-born calves, that are exclusively feed their mothers milk. Which bring us to the fact that if you are vegetarian and you consume cheese, you are still eating animals anyway.) The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men. - Alice Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I do think this is well put, but as far as the UK goes is innaccurate. I am not defending dairy farming by any means, as it is unnatural and cruel, no matter how conducted. The only calves kept enclosed in that manner, in the UK, are the poor unfortunates kept for veal. Most cows here are kept in fields, including the calves. The only reason I point this out is that if someone used this argument in the UK they would lose credence with any listeners because of this mistaken belief - so here it would be best to stick to the other points made.
