Got Milk? You don’t need it.

Reblogged this on KVARM and commented:
A few things I would add is that even cows who are not given hormones (and antibiotics because they are over-milked and their teats are diseased – look up the monitoring of levels of pus and blood in milk) and goats have hormone levels that a lactating mammal has, and which the infant can process. Beyond weaning age and puberty (!!!), it affects hormone-levels in humans. So organic milk from “happy cows” would carry risks too. And of course “happy” cows and goats had their male baby killed so there can be more for greedy humans. Cows (at least) have been genetically to produce more milk than they used to. The myth that we need milk is funding the medical industrial complex. I’m not selling you plant-milk, in fact I buy mine from businesses that sell meat and dairy currently. But no one got directly killed for it, no one got raped and no animals were bred and no crops were exported from Africa to feed European cattle while the same countries have people starving. Do we still import milk from the EU? Even if Australia is big enough for growing all their feed, it’s high time useless industries that are wasteful give back aboriginal land and give land back to wildlife. We certainly shouldn’t be helping them exploit sentient beings at any level, we have no need for it.
