humans. I was milked 10 months out of the year even during my consecutive nine-month pregnancies. Three times a day, seven days per week I was hooked up to painful electric milking machines then put back in my cement and metal cell.

Within hours of giving birth, my helpless calves were forcibly taken away from me. The males were sold for veal or pet food, and the females were imprisoned in tiny stalls to begin their lives of enslavement to the dairy industry.

Being vegetarian means NOT consuming dairy products. We dairy cows and our babies live short, but very miserable and tormented lives AND, we still end up being slaughtered too. ** 40% of America’s hamburger is made from “spent” dairy cows.  Don't be fooled by labels like "Organic" milk either.  "Organic" dairies are just as cruel as all the rest and just as deadly for the calves and "spent" cows.
