Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you are still on the fence about consuming dairy products, check out this link: http://www.farmaid.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx? c=qlI5IhNVJsE & b=2723877 & content_id={CABA18A7-340D-4F42-9342- 9C66C4BA34C7} & notoc=1 & tr=y & auid=4561714 It is all about the current state of the dairy industry and how there is a major surplus of milk. Many farmers are sending their cows to slaughter in order to " thin " the herds. Not only is the death of 72,000 cows upsetting, another 200-300,000 are set to die as a result of the decrease in milk demand. It also drives me crazy the way these poor animals are referred to as just another piece of property that needs to be removed. They don't even mention the loss of life. It's all about business. I do feel for the farmers going through a crisis, but it shouldn't be at the expense of another living creature. I will now get off my soapbox...
