Because, of course, only true animal lovers use caustic paste and duct tape on babies …
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the “dairy industry” abusively-reproductively exploits cows and then has the absolute cruel audacity to deny the maternal bond THEY facilitated, stealing the female babies and forcing them into “calf prisons” and killing “unprofitable” males, and people buy the lie that it’s “humane”, based on “welfare”, and is totally “natural”, LOLOLOLOLOLOLing at ludicrously anthropomorphized commercials with dancing, talking, singing cows who wear cosmetics. It’s nauseating listening to people pretend that breastfeeding from another species, beyond infancy and with teeth, and that requires animal suffering, pain, and violent death, is “humane and natural”.
(By the way, I’m still waiting for anyone to send me industry promoted footage of “humane” slaughter…
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

……………….. )
There is nothing natural, humane, or kind about “dairy”. No matter how you define your consumption of another species’ milk and/or body, it’s ALWAYS better to … NOT consume; honestly, with today’s vast selection of plant-based food, including “accidentally vegan” options, people have no excuse to exploit animals. It’s repulsive, ugly, and shameful. (Oh, and here’s a handy link of USDA’s Safe and Suitable Ingredients Used in the Production of Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products for those out there who like to believe that meats are not highly processed…….)

What is the dairy myth?
For generations, the dairy industry has sold us a story—one of happy cows, family farms, and wholesome goodness.
But behind every glass of milk is a hidden truth: routine cruelty, relentless exploitation, and million-dollar marketing campaigns designed to make it all look pure. From smiling cow cartoons to labels like “natural” and “humane,” the industry has spent decades whitewashing reality—covering up grief and suffering with nostalgia and charm.
This isn’t an accident. It’s strategy. Because if people saw what really happens behind closed doors, they’d turn away.
It’s time to end the myth. No more deception. No more cruelty masked as kindness. Let’s expose the truth—and leave dairy behind.
Calves Ripped Away at Birth
Just moments after birth, mother cows had their calves torn away—in some cases with placentas still hanging from the mothers’ bodies. The mothers’ desperate cries echoed through the farm. This separation is standard across the industry and happens every single day.
Violent Handling and No Veterinary Care
Cows were kicked and beaten with poles and had their tails twisted to force them to move. Many suffered from painful infections and open wounds. Despite obvious injuries, they received no veterinary care and were left to suffer.
Exhaustion, Slaughter, and Disposal
Cows are exploited for dairy until their bodies give out. After years of forced pregnancies and relentless milking, some collapse from exhaustion and all are sent to slaughter—typically at just four to five years old, a fraction of their natural lifespan.
Dairy Management Inc. Leprino. Saputo.
Many of the ads painting dairy as wholesome are paid for by the Dairy Checkoff program, which funnels mandatory fees collected from farmers into marketing campaigns designed to boost dairy sales—no matter the cost to animals.
Dairy Management Inc. runs this million-dollar machine, selling consumers myths while companies like Leprino and Saputo cash in—pushing cheese into fast food, frozen meals, and grocery dairy cases across the country.
Behind every slice of pizza and every cup of yogurt are babies ripped from their mothers, animals mutilated without pain relief, and lives thrown away when no longer profitable.
Dairy Management Inc. doesn’t just cover up this cruelty—they sell it as “good for you.”
This is not just misleading. It’s deception.
It’s time we called it what it is. And it’s time to end it.
Three Reasons to Ditch Dairy
It Damages the Planet
Dairy farms are major methane emitters and produce millions of pounds of manure daily. Waste runoff pollutes rivers and drinking water, and many farms operate without basic pollution controls.
It Harms Animals
Cows are forcibly impregnated, calves are taken at birth (four million calves die yearly in the USA, SL), and many cows suffer from painful udder infections. Most cows used for dairy are slaughtered at just four or five years of age when their milk production declines—far short of their natural 15- to 20-year lifespan.
It Puts Us at Risk
Over 1,000 dairy herds and dozens of dairy workers have been infected with bird flu. In April 2025, virologists writing in the Lancet observed that in mammals, bird flu viruses may develop greater ability to transmit and replicate efficiently in other mammals, potentially including humans, though this has yet to be demonstrated.
Furthermore, an estimated 68% of the world’s population has trouble digesting dairy (National Institutes of Health / NIH)
