Cave painting in Lascaux, France. Well, this is something I have been avoiding for a while. Actually looking into the dairy industry and finding out what goes on there. I think it's something most of us just put to the back of our minds. We don't really want to know about that stuff, because it makes us feel uncomfortable. Should we really ignore our feelings? If something is niggling at you, saying "this isn't right" then you should stop and listen, for your own peace of mind. Ignoring this does not make it go away. "The dairy cow is also the hardest worked of all farmed animals. To enable a constant supply of milk cows are usually artificially inseminated two to three months after they have given birth and are required to nurture a growing calf inside while simultaneously producing milk. This routine inevitably takes its toll, and many cows are slaughtered in the UK, physically exhausted, before their fifth birthdays." http://www.ethicalco...
