COCA-COLA'S " PROJECT MOTHER " INITIATIVE

TO DEVELOP COW'S MILK PRODUCTS

 

NOW, LET'S POLITELY STOP IT !!!

 

 

SAMPLE LETTER STARTS:

(note: if you can, please write your own letter, it could be better

than our sample letter. Thanks. All contact info follows the letter.)

 

 

Dear Mr. ......... ,

 

I am writing to express our deep concern over the Coca-Cola

Company's proposed initiative, titled " Project Mother, " to develop

and market a line of cow's milk products targeting children.

 

I'm seriously protesting and politely demanding that you stop any

of your products associated with Cow's milk or any of its related

ingredients. Instead , we encourage Coca Cola company to produce

the world's most nutritious and most delicious " SOY " beverages

which is so important to our " Heart " health and fight cancer too !

There are many Oriental companies produce canned Soy beverage

which is so delicious and very profitable. Also, the canned

fruit juice is excellent low fat and no cholesterol healthful juices

too.

 

The following are the reasons why I'm demanding Coca Cola to

stop any product which is related with Cow's milk :

 

Corporate-owned factories where cows are warehoused in huge sheds

and treated like milk machines have replaced most small family farms.

With GENETIC manipulation and intensive production technologies,

it is common for modern dairy cows to produce 100 pounds of milk a

day--10 times more than they would produce in nature. To keep milk

production as high as possible, farmers artificially inseminate cows

every year. Growth hormones and unnatural milking schedules cause

dairy cows' udders to become painful and so heavy that they sometimes

drag on the ground, resulting in frequent infections and overuse of

antibiotics. Cows -- like all mammals -- make milk to feed their own

babies --not humans.

" I realized there's even more suffering in a glass of MILK than in a

pound of Meat. " says Dr. Francione, Law Professor at Rutgers University.

Few people realize cows have to be subjected to pregnancy every

year so that MILK, CHEESE, BUTTER, ICE CREAM may be produced.

In order to continue producing high volume milk as much as possible,

in the modern commercial dairy factory farms cows are constantly kept

pregnant. Their babies are dragged away within 1 to 2 days of birth, so

that milk can be sold and humans can drink MILK intended for the

calves. Giving birth is a prolonged and painful business for the cow,

to be rewarded only by separation from her baby. Cows often cry out

and search for their calves for days after their babies are taken away.

(*The attachment between the calf and mother is particularly strong).

 

Male calves are sold to feed lots and put into tiny veal crates,

fatten and chained to endure 16 weeks of hell in the dark, confined to

stalls so small they can not even make a turn, then slaughtered and sold

as 'Veal ' , " Beef " , " Hamburger " or " Pet Food " ........

 

Many of the male calves are simply " buried " alive !.

As one of the Dairy farm worker Paula Johnson said ,

" I eat beef, I drink milk. I also worked on a dairy farm when

I was young. I remember running the backhoe to bury 10s to 100s of

bull calves dumped in the pit, some dead - some not. This is a

practice. Whether you do it or not. It is a practice to kill the male

calves very early on Dairy farms. " . (Paula Johnson, now owns

a horse ranch in Texas ).

 

Female calves follow in their mother's hoofprints, slaughtered when

their milk production wanes, usually before their 4th birthday to become

hamburger or pet food. Normal healthy cows can live up to 26 years old.

The DAIRY industry is inseparable from the cruel exploitation and

degradation of helpless, highly intelligent animals.

(Note: Witnesses at the auction said numerous calves in the pan , some

are sold for $0.50 to $8 per live calf. Their umbilical cord are still

attached. They suckle humans hands like puppies.)

(Source: http://www.farmsanctuary.org )

 

DAIRY AND BEEF GOES HAND IN HAND. The following are only

some of million cases every year regarding the cruelty of the

industries. Here is an account of Calf slaughter( By-products of milk) :

 

" To get done with them faster, we'd put eight or nine of them in the

knocking box at a time...You start shooting, the calves are jumping,

they're all piling up on top of each other. You don't know which ones

got shot and which didn't.... They're hung anyway, and down the line

they go, wriggling and yelling " (to be slaughtered while fully

conscious). (Reference Source: " Slaughterhouse " documentary

book by Gail Eisnitz).

 

According to one of the Special Reports by Humane Farming

Association (http://www.hfa.org ) :

Some of the slaughterhouse workers described :

 

" When a conscious cow arrives at the first hind-legger hanging

upside down , usually the legger tries to make a cut to start skinning

out the leg. Unfortunately, it is very difficult and dangerous to do

that when an animal is kicking violently. So the legger will cut off

the bottom part of the animal's leg he's working on with a pair of

clippers. " (Reference Source: Slaughterhouse " documentary book,

by Gail Eisnitz)

 

Female calves often replace their old, worn-out mothers, or are

slaughtered soon after birth for the rennet in their stomachs (an

ingredient of most commercial cheeses). They are often kept in tiny

crates or tethered in stalls for the first few months of their lives,

only to grow up to become " milk machines " like their mothers.

 

The dairy industry abandons live cows at stockyards when they are no

longer " profitable " and drags cows to slaughter with chains when they

can still be sold for human consumption. The male offspring of dairy

cows are often considered " useless " that they are discarded, often alive,

on dairy farms or clubbed to death with canes.

(source: http://www.farmsanctuary.org , http://www.nodowners.org/ ).

 

" Dragging cattle with a chain and forklift is standard practice at

the plant, " explained a long-term inspector at a large beef operation in

Nebraska. " And that's even after the forklift operator rolled over and

crushed the head of one downer while dragging another. " .

" [T]hey'll go through the skinning process alive. I saw that myself,

a bunch of times. I've found them alive clear over to the rump stand. " .

" And that happens in every plant. I've worked in four large ones and a

bunch of small ones. They're all the same. " .

" [E]verybody gets so used to it that it doesn't mean anything. " .

" [W]orkers drag cripples with a garden tractor and a chain . "

(Ref Source: " Slaughterhouse " documentary book by Gail Eisnitz ,P.196).

 

Former Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman conceded on Feb 11, 1999

in an interview with C-SPAN Washington Journal that the ENFORCEMENT

of the Humane Slaughter Act is almost NON-EXISTENT !

 

As far as the health aspects of Cow's milk , there are many research

reports stated that Cow's milk is linked to Breast Cancer, Prostate

Cancer, Juvenile Onset Diabetes, Overian Cancer, even OSTEOPOROSIS.

Please refer the following web sites to get the inside story of Cow's

milk:

Now, you should understand the Cruelty from Dairy industry .

As we all know, Coke is one of the most well-marketed products

in the world. We are your loyal customers. And we all love and enjoy

Coca Cola very much. However, your new line with Cow's Milk

products is no different from promoting the " ANIMAL CRUELTY "

to the society and to millions of young children. The selling of

already so saturated cow's milk products(including cheese) have been

pushing dairy and meat industries to torture and kill millions of

innocent and sentient dairy cows and their babies each year ! Your

producing or planned to produce those new products involving Cow's

milk will push millions more animals to be tortured and killed in the

excruciating painful way further each year !

 

Again, I'm demanding that you stop any of your products associated

with Cow's milk or any of its related ingredients. Instead , we

encourage Coca Cola company to produce the most nutritious,

delicious canned " SOY " beverages which is so important to our

" Heart " health and fight cancers too !

 

We would be very grateful to you for your kindness, compassion,

insight and help for the plight of millions of suffering dairy cows

and their babies (calves) as well as help to stop spreading the deadly

diseases to millions of young children and adults from consuming the

dairy products. I'm looking forward to hear from you. Thanks.

 

 

Very Truly Yours,

Your name(s),

Address,

City, State and Zip.

Country.

 

P.S.:

We are enclosing some of the important documents regarding

the cruelty of dairy industry . We appreciate your review them. thanks.
