Anya: *at dinner in a restaurant with guests* how are cows food?

Loid: *small info dump about the dairy industry* they are connected elsewhere to, but don’t think I don’t know this is to avoid eating your vegetables

Anya: *didn’t really care, but the lady they were eating with was being annoying in her mind and it was the easiest way to get her to mentally put a lid on it* aw… ok…

Lady: I didn’t know you were so… passionate about the farming industry

Loid: *about to play it off as something else* *heads for actual truth because two weeks ago he was stuck in a 3 hour long ‘but why?’ convo with Anya that left him frustrated* I’m not, but children are curious creatures, so I’ve taken the liberty to find out some things beforehand so I’m not caught off guard

I have to say that your anti-vegan jokes and anti-vegan and pro-animal-products propaganda isn't actually that funny or clever or insightful. If anything it makes you look uneducated. Like you don't have any common knowledge.

how about you ACTUALLY die but also this is a good opportunity to speak again about how this is the reality cows actually go through and you cannot be a feminist if you support the abuse female animals go through.

Cows are artificially inseminated through rape, usually a middle aged sweaty white guy shoving his arms elbow deep in her vagina and asshole, ramming the inseminator in her cervix. after nine months of gestation she spends maybe a few minutes with her baby before the 'farmer' rips the calf away to either be chained to a wall for two weeks before having his throat slit and sold as veal, or shes kept in a tiny little outdoor shack and raised to take her mothers place. they do this a handful of times until the mother is physically unable to carry on from the stress of back-to-back pregnancies and witnessing their babies dying/being stolen. and then she is ALSO killed by her throat being slit. they often stand on hard concrete floors their entire lives or they're kept outside 24/7 with no shelter. no in between.

humans are the only species that drinks milk past infancy and the only species that drinks milk from ANOTHER species. and they do it all through rape, torture, and murder.

BRIEF TWO- DISRUPT

Project Research- Littlehill Animal Rescue

Meet Twig, Coconut and Pixie. My good freind Amy's rescue chickens. I asked her to tell me a bit about them and why/how they were rescued, and this was what she said;

"I got the chickens from Littlehill Animal rescue. Apparently after 18 months, chickens go into moult and their egg production drops so the farmers kill them all and get new chickens. Which is so cruel!!! Some farmers give their chickens to Littlehill instead of the slaughterhouse and they then drive around Ireland and give chickens to anyone who wants them!

Apparently there is another chicken run this weekend (we might be getting 2 more😊). Ill send u the link. Ill send a few pictures too!"

How amazing of her to adopt these hens and save them from slaughter. After looking into the organization I found out that the farmers only give them a certain amount of time to get adopted before taking them back to get slaughteted. How evil. Looking at the facebook page of Littlehill animal rescue is truly an eye opener to the horrors of the irish egg industry that so many choose to ignore.

Twig, Coconut and Pixie were lucky, unlike the thousands and thousands of hens that get slaughtered everyday. I have spent many evenings with Amys wonderful hens and you can truly see how beautiful, funny and full of life these creatures are. Its not fair. Its not fair that we kill creatures for food when we dont need to. Its not fair that someone can justify the tourture we inflict on them everyday. Its not fair that people refuse to change because its uncomfortable for them, even though for the animals its a matter of life and death.

Organizations like Littlehill animal rescue are truly doing amazing work, but its a shame that an organization like them has to exist in the first place.

If you've ever considered rescuing some hens and saving their lives, I highly encourage you to take a look on their facebook. They give updates on hen rescues and where they will be to get adopted.

More than 250 climate, environment, health, nutrition and food organizations and experts are urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to address greenhouse gas emissions from meat and dairy consumption. The move comes after USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack claimed, at December’s COP28 climate conference, that he doesn’t hear much about reducing meat consumption as a climate solution.

In a letter sent to the agriculture secretary today, signatories called on the USDA to immediately make meat and dairy reduction a key part of the agency’s climate strategy, align food and climate goals in all USDA programs, and integrate sustainability into the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

...

Food and agriculture make up one-third of global greenhouse gases, mostly from meat and dairy, but these resource-intensive foods only provide 18% of calories. Reducing consumption of high-emissions foods in wealthy nations has been identified by the IPCC, FAO, and numerous climate studies as an important strategy to address greenhouse gas emissions.

These high-emissions foods are also the leading driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss and a key source of water pollution. Meat production accelerates the spread of disease, posing a severe risk to public health, particularly in marginalized communities, and making it even harder for farmers to adapt to climate change.

“The carbon capture bloc is one of the largest – outnumbering official Indigenous representatives by 50%, as well as several of the most climate-affected countries, including Somalia (366), Niger (135), Guinea-Bissau (43), Tonga (79), Eritrea (7), Liberia (197), and Solomon Islands (56)” … “The world’s top five meat companies’ emissions are estimated to be significantly larger than those of the oil firms Shell and BP, while the dairy industry’s 3.4% contribution to global human-induced emissions is a higher share than aviation.”

Dairy cattle misconceptions pt 1

Ok so while a majority of my cattle expertise is in beef cattle, I still know my fair share about dairy cattle

Note, I am not a certified expert though I have years of experience

These are all things I’ve heard or been told

1. Dairy cattle are forced to produce milk with hormones

This is a fairly common sentiment I have seen across the board and I’m happy to report to you, it’s false. While milk production can be taxing on an animal, it’s as natural for a cow as breathing.

Here in Canada dairy cattle cannot be given unnatural hormones or chemicals to increase milk production, Milk is tested regularly and if there is any trace of chemicals or hormones from medication for example, the batch must be tossed.

The only exception to this is the occasional oxytocin injection to help the cow drop her milk, the oxytocin is absorbed into the cows body and doesn’t contaminate the milk. Though keep in mind that this is a once or twice occurrence with cows new to milk production.

The only thing that can reliably increase milk production that is legal ( In Canada) is the animals feed. Cows who have a very high protein and carb intake can often produce more milk as they have the energy stores to do so.

A Dairy cows milk production is for the most part, entirely natural ( chemical free), dairy cows were selectively bred for hundreds of years to be able to produce as much milk as they do

Now this isn’t to say that it’s always what’s best for the animal, but that’s why farmers strive to care for and produce better animals

2. Cows are forcefully milked against their will, and their milk is stolen

Now this, is entirely untrue, the thing is, if a cow doesn’t want to do something there’s not really a way to get it to cooperate, and when it comes to something as sensitive as an udder your shit out of luck

Milking cattle isn’t stealing but more an exchange, you feed, shelter and care for them and in exchange you get milk, it’s a partnership.

There’s also the fact many cattle enjoy being milked, as milking is facilitated through the production of serotonin, which is what allows cattle to produce milk in the first place,

This is what facilitates automatic milking robots, cows will be milked on their own free will, choosing when to be milked

A little milking fun fact, cows can be so excited about milking, that the serotonin causes the muscles in their teats loosen and they start to leak milk

Not to mention that a commercial dairy cow, on average a cow produces around 4x as much milk as her calf can drink in a day, your not “stealing” a calves food, your taking the surplus

3. Calves are stolen from their mothers

This is a bit of a more touchy side to dairy, but calves are not stolen from their mothers, they are often removed for many reasons

Firstly, dairy cows are more often than not terrible mother’s, they have basically had the it maternal side bred out, and are the most dangerous thing to their calves after predators, many dairy cows will often abandon or even forget they had a calf, and some of the worse ones will consciously lie on their calves just after they’re born, or they may step on, kick or ram their calves into the ground. These cows are essentially unfit mothers and their calves are taken away for their own safety

On top of the attempt murder, calves are born with no immune system, so to increase their survival chances, they are quarantined and monitored often in calf huts, during this time they are fed their mothers colostrum, or first milk filled with essential nutrients and such, that help build up their immune system. Once old enough they are often moved to communal pens with others that are the same age so they can socialize and bond, they stay with that group into adulthood and milking

It seems cruel from the outside but it’s necessary, understanding calf behaviour is difficult through a human perspective, calves don’t cry for their mothers, they cry for food even after eating. Cows don’t call back to their babies cry’s out of sadness but more to quiet them. Cows don’t feel the way humans do, after a year it’s surprising to see a cow still close to its calf

If you have any more questions feel free to ask, and I’ll let y’all know
