Think all those dairy cow statistics and abuse videos are isolated incidents?
Think because you like cheese so much that it really doesn’t hurt anything?

The above picture is the amount of milk that a low-volume Starbucks goes through on a slow day. How do I know? I took this picture while doing our nightly milk run. We have a very low-volume store, especially in comparison to Starbucks in metropolitan areas. 

Let’s put this into perspective for a second. A gallon of milk weighs about 8.5 lbs. On average a dairy cow will produce a little more than 20,000 lbs per year. Per cow, that’s ~2353 gallons of milk. That’s 6.4 gallons of milk, per dairy cow a day.

In the picture, there’s about 30 gallons of milk.  That’s per day in one Starbucks, not to mention the amount that are still in the Target being sold to customers. Using Starbucks alone as an example, there’s over 7,000 in the US alone. Using my stores numbers as an average, that’s 210,000 gallons of milk a day in Starbucks in the US. 

That means that there are 32,813 dairy cows being milked for Starbucks ALONE. Keep in mind this doesn’t take into account things like Half&Half, or Heavy Cream. This is ONLY the milk for lattes used in a day. Now factor in the fact that this Starbucks is in a Target, which also sells milk to general consumers.  Now think of every other coffee shop, grocery store, cheese shop, ice cream shop - adjust accordingly.

Now think about the amount of veal calves that are produced because of this.

Keep in mind, it’s no different when you buy from “local, humane, free range” milk, because as much grass vs grain they feed their cattle, they still have to produce by the gallon, and sell it en masse.

Dairy is torture. Cut the shit, go vegan.

Raised over $200 for Animal Rights Advocates Inc. and handed out some knowledge. I feel amazing, that was easy.

I can’t wait to do more, I want to do everything.
There is far to much anger and hope in my heart to sit still.

So, I’m going to have a baby right, not so it can live a wonderful rewarding life, but so that it can do my dishes. As soon as its born, I will lock it in a cage so it doesn’t get any taste of what a real life would be like and ill only bring it out to do my dishes and then it will be straight back in the cage. You know what? When its young it might even smile or enjoy washing the dishes a little, so I can tell myself it likes it. But anyway, once it gets disheartened or tired or its hands crack and blister from doing the dishes too much and it can no longer serve me, I will give it a quick and humane death, you know, the old slit of the throat.

And it won’t be cruel, because it was born and raised to be my slave.

BUT DERP DERP HUMANS R BETTAR THEN ANIMOOLZ

Just because it hasn’t known different, doesnt mean it can’t fucking feel you moronic assholes. Just because you helped give it life, does not mean you own its life.

Stop searching so hard for justification. It doesn’t exist.

Humans will drive over 50% of animal and plant species to extinction within the next hundred years, but you ‘need’ to mass breed, slaughter and eat animals to keep the ‘natural’ order of things intact?

I suppose that is fair, wouldn’t want to upset any ecosystems or anything.

Holy Fuck

No, fuck off. Their deaths will still be murder, their lives will still be slavery in slightly better conditions and their suffering will still be for nothing more than a moment of satisfaction in some greedy, weak humans life.

If you believe in ‘animal rights’, fucking do something about it. Make a fucking commitment to ending this.

So every time someone searches for cute animals that they supposedly love and appreciate so much, they can see whats really happening to the animals in this world.

Stop kidding yourself.
