Next time you reach for that pint of milk, slab of cheese, or carton of cream spare a thought for the millions of calves that are slaughtered daily so you can have your precious dairy products. Imagine if it was your child that was torn away from you in some cases minutes after birth, murdered before it had a chance to live.....Many calves never get to be as old as the two in the picture above, let alone walk in a field with their mother.
For those of you who think that animals are dumb, have no emotions or intelligence think again. Animals are made the same as us, they have the same senses we do, therefore if you hurt them they feel it, you stroke or hug them they enjoy it, put yourself into their situations and how would you feel, mistreated all your life taken to a slaughterhouse where you are made to line up and watch those ahead of you murdered right before your eyes. The stench of blood and fear filling the air, all so you can enjoy your steak.........Or perhaps your fate would be to be kept in a harsh prison producing milk for your entire life, which fate is worse? The Earth provides us with enough food to sustain human life all without spilling any blood, people around the world are up in arms about the slaughter of the whales, yet they will happily allow the mindless slaughter of lambs, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, prawns, cows, rabbits, ducks, chickens, turkey and and and.......................................It is not just the whales that require saving ALL the animal kingdom needs liberating from mans bloodthirsty control.
