"In the summertime, when it's ninety, ninety-five degrees, they're transporting cattle from twelve to fifteen hundred miles away on a trailer, forty to forty-five head crammed in there, and some collapse from heat exhaustion. This past winter, we had minus-fifty-degree weather with the windchill. Can you imagine if you were in the back of a trailer that's open and the windchill factor is minus fifty degrees, and that trailer is going fifty to sixty miles an hour? The animals are urinating and defecating right in the trailers, and after a while, it's going to freeze, and their hooves are right in it. If they go down -- well, you can imagine lying in there for ten hours on a trip."

Happy Easter then slaughter ya thats celebrating god alright you freak

Like the beloved characters in Charlotte's Web and Babe, real pigs are intelligent and sensitive, each with his or her own unique personality. But pigs raised for food in real life are treated far more cruelly than their fictional counterparts in these tales.
Almost all of the millions of pigs killed for food in the U.S. every year are raised on extremely crowded, filthy factory farms. These intelligent social animals are deprived of natural sunlight and the feel of grass beneath their feet, until the day when they are shoved and prodded onto a truck bound for the slaughterhouse.

Dairy Farmers in Canada Separate Babies from Mothers permanently and raise them babies for veal


Separating a mother from its baby at birth permanently is cruel beyond any comprehension.  Mothers feed machines, babies are fed by machines

see below email i personally received from Dairy Farmers of Canada

Hi,
We agree. The calves need milk – and they get about 10 litres a day for the first 2-4 weeks, then their stomach can gradually start digesting hay /grass.
A cow produces about 28-30 litres – sometimes more, sometimes less- of milk a day – for about 9-10 months, so there is enough for calves and humans.
As time goes on, they decrease their milk consumption and increase solids.

And this is where there starts to be a difference between “milk-fed veal” and “grain-fed veal” – how long the animal is given milk vs grain – and how long they will live.
Beef cattle will obviously live longer and become bigger.

On typical cattle farms, no animals are tied. They roam freely – whether inside or outside.
A number of older barns for dairy and veal still have mixed housing – meaning some animals are tied in their individual stall – which must be big enough for them to move a few feet, but not enough to turn around: the reason is simple, the space in front of them is where they eat and drink – it must stay rigorously clean so if the animal was allowed to turn around and defecate there, there would be huge health risk for the calves.

Moreover, the veal industry has already decided to be proactive and move towards “group housing” – no more single pens over the next 10 years. On group housing, the pens are bigger with 4-6 calves to a pen where they can run, socialize and frolic. All food and water (and milk) is outside the pen to avoid contamination.

There are a lot of interesting technological advances that ensure the calves get the proper nutrition they need – there are even robotic feeders now that will give milk on demand and records how much each calf eats – so farmers can track the feed intake and ensure that all calves have enough to drink and eat. (this helps ensure that any bullying by another animal is detected early so that if a farmer needs to remove a calf that is being “picked on”, they can do it before the animal’s health is at risk.)

The same principle applies to managing cows.
If you want to learn more or see how this is applied, I’d encourage you to see if there is a farm near you that you could visit.
Check this page of provincial dairy organizations http://www.dairyfarmers.ca/contact  if you want to visit a dairy farm; look for the cattlemen’s organizations if you want to visit a beef farm.

And have a great holidays!

Hi,

Cows have 9-month pregnancies, like humans; and their pregnancies and “calving” are a lot more easy than what women live. They don’t usually need help, but farmers make sure to monitor cows that are about to “freshen” very closely, move them to the maternity pen and get up at night to check on them.

Cows like being milked. If a farmer is 15-30 minutes late for milking, we can hear the cows protest. (I know, I grew up on a dairy farm). No sleeping in or staying at the supper table too long! I heard the cows protest!
As a mother who has breastfed 2 babies, I can assure you that I understand this – the feeling of being engorged is the reason why there are breast pumps for humans.

Modern milkers are amazingly gentle on cows – a lot more than milking by hand.
It takes 5 minutes twice a day to milk a cow. Some cows are milked 3 times a day. Farms where there are robots - and cows decide themselves when to be milked – cows are typically milked 2.8 times a day. Some cows prefer to get milked 4 times a day.

Thanks!
