Realities of the Dairy Industry

A female must be pregnant
to produce breast milk.
She will remain pregnant
until unable to conceive
she is then sent to slaughter
the male calves (often) killed for veal
females destined for the same fate
unending suffering
Forcefully impregnated
no consent, denigrated
forced to produce a vast milk yield
through mechanized enslavement
Can you see the irony?
Torturers all are we!
Degrading terminology
«dairy cattle» replaces «mother»
reducing their existence
to little more than stock
Genes altered to suit our lust
constant milking causes infections
milk contains the blood and puss
from mothers it was stolen from
A cocktail of growth hormones
milk acid leads to brittle bones
(saturated) fat and cholesterol
(can lead to) cancer and heart disease
take into consideration
the effect is has on you
saving the life you cherish most
could help save their lives too
