angelculture:acircleofthirteen:wormcake:sixpenceee:A lot of negativity and bad things in the world sometimes, here’s some purity. A cow trying to catch a snowflake with it’s tongue! Have a great day everyone!such a cute milk dogThis is actually very sad: dairy calves are seperated from their mothers, and locked in these confinements until they are slaughtered for veal if they are male or if female: also denied their mother’s milk and later forcefully impregnated and will have their children taken away from them until they are 3-5 years old, no longer producing as much milk and then slaughtered as well (like their mothers before them). Please ditch dairy if you love these angels! There are plenty of wonderful alternatives available. dairy calves are taken from their mothers because they’re more likely to live to adulthood if they are. would you rather more dairy calves die just so you can project human emotions on cows?what are you calling “forcefully impregnated” here? artificial insemination, which is much, MUCH safer than live coverings? or live coverings, which would happen much more violently and more frequently in the wild? most male dairy calves are sold to beef farmers where they’re allowed to mature. veal is expensive because it’s not a common practice. if veal was as common as you say, it would be dirt cheap. most of the time, unless there’s some sort of health issue with the mother, the calves are given regular cow’s milk. it’s much cheaper to feed a calf what you already have on-hand than to go out and buy formula and on top of that pay $200-$500 depending on where you’re from to bring out a vet (which is even more $$$ for a farm visit) to supplement the calf with the antibodies that colostrum provides. that just doesn’t make any sense. -- source link
