yrstruly: flowerbeast: veganasfuck: This is HER BABY.  That she has the right to bear on her own YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO RIP IT FROM HER AT BIRTH. Just so you can STEAL THAT BABY’S MILK. It isn’t yours to take. She isn’t a machine. This is HER life. Her baby. it’s really just that simple. Well but it’s not that simple because she didn’t choose to have it either. Don’t get me wrong factory farming blows but there are ways to get cow’s milk without supporting the veal industry or the mega-farms. maybe she didn’t choose to have the baby, but her anguish is no less when they rip her newborn away from her. The only way cows produce milk is by being constantly impregnated. There is no milk without cruelty.

treekisser:

Step 1: Mother gives birth to baby.

Step 2: Baby takes his first steps. Mother nervously stares at human observers. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it before.

Step 3: Less than 15 minutes after birth, the still-wet baby is taken from his mother.

I very much believe that everyone should read this. Even those who do choose to consume meat. At least know where the food is coming from. Don’t choose to ignore this huge, looming problem that our society is facing. Factory farming is cruel, and it’s not only  harming animals but our environment.
