Revolt! Take a Stand Against the Dairy Industry’s Treatment of Cows
A revolution is underway.
Dairy sales are drying up as plant-based milks, ice creams, cheeses, and yogurts fly off the shelves. The way people view animals and food is changing faster than ever before. Have you joined the revolution?
When all the things that the dairy industry tries to hide can be seen with the click of a mouse, it opens people’s eyes – and their hearts. Every day, more and more people are discovering just what it takes to make a single glass of milk or slice of cheese. But what exactly is taking place on dairy farms? See for yourself!
The Pregnancy Gun
Did you know that female cows produce milk only when they’re pregnant or nursing?
They make milk for the same reason that human women do: to feed their babies. But because the demand for dairy “products” requires a constant supply of milk, cows on dairy farms are impregnated through artificial insemination to jump-start the process – and to keep it going. After their newborn calves are forcibly and traumatically taken away from them, the milk the mother cows produce is shipped off for human consumption, and the whole ordeal begins again.

Maximising Lactation
Did you know that the average cow today produces more than four times as much milk as one did in 1950?

Through the use of intense milking regimes (mother cows are usually hooked up to milking machines two or more times a day) and sometimes drugs, the animals’ reproductive systems are pushed to the limit, and they’re forced to produce much more milk than they naturally would.
Millions of gentle animals endure this treatment in the production of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy “products”. They need your help now. Revolt!
Transitioning Calves for Assignment
The videos above shed some light on what happens to female calves and cows in the dairy industry, but did you know that most males are slaughtered far short of their natural life expectancies?
Because male calves are useless to dairy farmers, they’re taken from their mothers when they’re less than a day old. Many are confined to pens, longing for the comfort of their mothers until they’re shipped to slaughter to be made into veal. Calves who are deemed “unprofitable” are often killed with a firearm or a captive-bolt gun, or they may be bludgeoned to death with a hammer.
Every year in Australia, 400,000 calves who are less than 30 days old endure long and stressful journeys to abattoirs and are killed.

Switching to Plant-Based Milks Is Easier Than Ever.
Milks made from soy, nuts, grains, and other plants are not only delicious but also free of the artery-clogging cholesterol that comes in every glass of dairy milk. More importantly, they’re increasingly available in supermarkets all over the country. Get all the information on plant-based milk you’ll need by checking out this guide to vegan brands.
