I have recently become vegan. I saw a DVD about how the milk is produced, how if effects the cows, its calf and so on. That was enough for me but this article is great for you guys who are wondering what the big deal is & for those who aren’t sure if being vegan is necessary or not.

Life Cycle of a Dairy Cow in America

In her lifetime, an American dairy cow experiences many lifestyle changes.

1st Phase – Birth

From the moment of her artificially induced conception to her birth nine months later, she exists in the nurturing environment of her mother’s womb.

2nd Phase – Productive life

After birth, bonding with her mother lasts for no more than a few minutes to couple of days. Does a calf experience separation anxiety? We should know the answer to that question after hearing her tortured
cry (I have seen this in my visit to a dairy farm).

After separation, she is force-fed between one and two gallons of colostrums by the human farmer. Without this first nutrient-rich bovine milk, she would succumb to illness and die in her first two months of life.

Does the mother accept that separation? Each year, tens of thousands of incidents are reported in which angry cows seek revenge upon dairy farmers. Each year, hundreds of dairy farmers are trampled, gored, attacked, and killed. Newspaper accounts blame such incidents on irrational unthinking beasts.

Cows live a lifetime of stress so long as they produce enough milk to be profitable to the dairy farmer. Once she becomes unproductive (around 5 years of age), or once she becomes too diseased to be cured, she is culled (removed) from the herd.

3rd Phase – Unproductive Life Journey

About thirty percent of America’s dairy cows are culled from herds each year. To be culled is to be taken from the familiar surroundings of a farm and packed onto a truck with other non-productive or diseased creatures. The fear factor culled cows experience is extreme.

Most Americans would guess that at this point the cow is sent to slaughter house. That is not so. Additional indignities await her. The true torture begins once the cow leaves the dairy farm. Her first stop is not the slaughterhouse but the auction ring.

Also once a cow leaves a farm for her ultimate death, compassion is no longer a concern to human handlers called middleman. Cows are loaded onto trucks at the dairy farm. The ride to auction can be traumatic. Terrified creatures are unloaded from the truck after bumpy rides in which they receive no food or water and are guided into holding pens.

Employees of auction houses are often low paid workers who have no interest in animal rights issues. Their job is to move the animals in the proper direction. The cows are led into rings while spectators sit in tiered bleachers and offer bids to an auctioneer’s call. (I have seen the auctioning of cows).

Many bidders sit in the audience, content to purchase number of animals depending upon the size of their slaughter operation. Each cow or calf awaits its turn… Twenty three cents per pound? Sold. Next.

4th Phase – Final Extinction

The cow is now owned by the successful bidder. It is his job to get the animal loaded onto his truck and shipped safely to his slaughterhouse facility. After experiencing a first truck ride, no cow wants to ever again climb the ramp onto man’s vehicles. These are the most painful and undignified moments of a cow’s life. Tails are grabbed and twisted. Nose rings are pulled and sometimes ripped from faces. Gentle creatures are stunned with high voltage electrical prods. Even the most stubborn of creatures eventually goes for her second and final ride.

All cows are slaughtered in America when they are around 5 years of age while their life expectancy is around 15 years. Some are to be slaughtered in factories, while others are to be slaughtered in sheds.
Some receive a bullet to the head while others are stunned. (I have visited the American slaughter house).

5th Phase – Recycled Phase

The first step in the slaughter house is to cut their throats so that they are bled. One can see that some cows are awake and conscious during the bleeding process. Spurting blood is collected in 55-gallon drums during slaughtering process. Blood is then dried and processed into powder, then packed into 50 pound bags. Dairy farmers buy this commodity as a protein supplement to be fed to future cows and their offspring. American cows are no longer vegetarian cows. Their own blood protein is mixed with grains to feed the next generation of cows.

Conclusion

Twenty-seven million cows and other animals die each day in America.

If and when we drink a glass of milk, eat ice-cream, cheese, sweet, or for meat eaters, the meal of burger, or the nuggets, or the Colonel’s crispy wings, we are eating the suffering and death of once living creatures.

During the 3rd phase of their journey, the middlemen who are responsible for transportation of the cows are the most abusive of human handlers (worst in India because of long journey), but they exist to serve the whims of the consumer. We eat the fruit of his abusive labor and we are complicit in their crime.

Jain Practice

For Jains, Ahimsa is our supreme principle, and yet we use dairy products such as milk, Ghee and sweet not only in our home but also in our temple rituals and Swämivätslya dinner. A cow is a five-sensed (Panchendriya) animal that also possesses mind. Cruelty to five-sensed animals is considered the highest sin and a person is destined to suffer in the hell as per our scriptures. In this situation a person will acquire following sinful karma Narak Äyushya Karma – “Panchendriya Vadha, Mahä-ärambha, Mahä-parigraha, and Raudra parinämathi Narak Äyushya Bandhäya chhe”. – Jain Darshan by Muni Shri Nyäya Vijayji

Adattädäna Karma – We are responsible for stealing the cows’ milk without her permission

Antaräya karma – We are responsible for forcefully separating the mother and child.

There are more than 6 million Americans are Vegan (New York Times Report), who do not use any animal products including dairy products such as milk, cheese, ice-cream, butter etc. About 10 to 15% Jain

Youth are Vegan who attend YJA and YJP conventions. No Jain youth in America has denied the cruelty that exist in the American dairy industry or in fact in the dairy industries of the rest of the world. However there is a significant resistance among Jain adult populations in America, India and rest of the countries.

We earnestly request to the Jain community at large to study the subject from Cruelty point of view. Significant literature is available on Internet and in book stores worldwide.

My great reverence to Gurudev Shri Chitrabhanuji and Pramodaben for their total dedication to practice vegan life style and spread the message of true Jain non-violence not only in America but throughout the world. I hope that the other Jain scholars study this subject rationally from the cruelty of Panchendriya animal point of view.

Hats off to Gurudev Shri Chitrabhanuji and Pramodaben.

The treatment to the majority of cows in India is worst in many areas of their life cycle. Only less than 1.0% of cows get sheltered in animal shelter places called Pänjarä-poles. Hence more animal shelters will not solve the problem. The only rational solution to the problem is to eliminate the root cause of the problem. Eliminate the dairy products from our diet and rituals. Once the demand is reduced, the supply will be reduced and in-turn less cows will be produced and hence less cruelty in the world. That will greatly help our environment also.

Please introspect seriously our religious practices under the current environment. Do not follow the scriptures blindly otherwise our supreme ideal of nonviolence will not have any meaningful value attach to it. America is a land where we can practice our religion rationally. Our children will practice our religion rationally but we will miss the opportunity if we do not wake-up.

Please let me know if you find any errors in the information described in this article.

If I have hurt any one’s feeling with this article, I sincerely request forgiveness.

Note
The majority information in this article is an abstract from the original article of Mr. Robert Cohen (http://www.notmilk.com). However I have visited all such places in America and some places in
India.

I was looking for photos to help those who are visual, like myself & I came across this information.

The California Milk Advisory Board’s Happy Cow Campaign starkly contrasts with the life of the modern California dairy cow.

On intensive farming operations, dairy cows deliver calves every twelve months. The rigorous pregnancy cycle is physically taxing on the mother cow. The cows are impregnated via artificial insemination (rectal palpation). Commercial cows produce milk for typically seven months of their ninth-month gestation period. To increase milk production, cows are injected with Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH), which is harmful to the health of the mother cow and her offspring. After birth, the mother and calf are permanently separated. Female calves, the future milk -producers of the dairy operation, are confined to undersized huts or crates for the first three months of their lives. With no milk-producing capabilities, male calves are raised and slaughtered for beef or veal. The natural lifespan of a cow is approximately twenty-five years. On average, commercially-raised dairy cows are slaughtered for beef within five to six years.

“Because the majority of downed animals (ailing animals who cannot walk or stand) are by-products of the dairy industry, downed animal cruelty has been rampant in California.”

(7) – World Prout Assembly says, let the animals live. Cows in America are slaughtered after 5 years when their natural life span is 25 years. Who gave us the right? Only our greed drives us to murder animals. Nothing else. We can change. We can learn to respect the lives of animals as much as our own. We can learn to fight for their dignity and right to life. Let us usher in a new era of civilization that recognizes the fundamental right of animals and plants to live out their natural lives. Let it be part of the new Magna Carta of the 21st century.

Thank you for sharing this information. I too was vegetarian for years – unaware of the cruelties on egg and dairy “farms”. After eliminating eggs/milk from my diet I feel much healthier – I’m especially happy that I no longer contribute to this horrible, evil industry.
For health & heart – Go VEGAN

This website has a great article explaining the history of when humans started drinking milk from a species other than human. It also discusses the effects of this change.

The Ethical Consumer (http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/FreeBuyersGuides/fooddrink/yoghurtdairysoya.aspx) reports the following: –

Dairy

The animal rights group Viva! released a report this year on the dairy industry, which exposes what it describes as “the cruel, dark side to the dairy industry.”(1). To keep them constantly producing milk, cows are forcibly impregnated whilst still lactating, meaning they endure both pregnancy and lactation at the same time, usually for seven months of the year. Once a cow gives birth her calf is removed after only a day or two. This separation causes severe stress to both animals and has been described as the most potentially distressing incident in the life of the dairy cow.

Male calves are considered a waste by-product as they can’t produce milk. Dairy/beef crosses are sold to beef farms with calves as young as seven days old enduring long journeys to and from livestock markets. Pure dairy males are usually killed within a week or two for baby food, pie ingredients or rennet for cheesemaking (1). Most female calves replace the dairy cows that are killed each year when their productivity drops. They usually spend the first six to eight weeks of life in tiny calf stalls, unable to exercise or socialise with other calves (1). They are fed commercial milk replacer and artificially inseminated at 15 months old to begin the cycle of pregnancy and lactation.

Cows would naturally live for up to 20 years, but the hard existence of the average commercial dairy cow takes it toll. Milk productivity begins to drop at 5-7 years of age at which point the animals are commonly killed for meat (1).

The dairy industry is also highly polluting. Approximately a quarter of all agricultural water pollution incidents recorded by the UK National Rivers Authority are related to dairy farming (2). The UK’s 2.2 million dairy cows also produce 230 000 tonnes of the greenhouse gas methane (2).

Also the BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7594625.stm) reports: –

Around 482,000 male dairy calves are born in the UK each year, but because they are unsuitable for beef production, they are either killed or exported to continental veal farms.

Is being vegan the solution? Is soya the solution?

The Ethical Consumer (http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/FreeBuyersGuides/fooddrink/yoghurtdairysoya.aspx) says: –

Soya solution?

There are now a range of widely available dairy-free alternatives made from soya. However, soya has problems of its own. 56% of the world’s soya crop is now genetically modified (4). GM is high on many people’s agendas, mainly for the health, environmental and social issues surrounding the technology. All the soya yoghurts in this report are marketed as GMO free.

Historically, logging and cattle ranching have been responsible for most rainforest destruction in the Amazon. Recent increases in demand for soya have accelerated this destruction, particularly in Brazil. However, the majority of the world’s soya is actually fed to cattle, including dairy cattle (5,6).

So if dairy produce isn’t ethical, acceptable or good for us should but you don’t want to go vegan should we use organic milk? Is it a better option?

Here’s what the Ethical Consumer says about organic alternatives: –

http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/FreeBuyersGuides/fooddrink/yoghurtdairysoya.aspx)

Soil Association certified products are better for the environment and for the consumer in terms of avoiding much of the antibiotics, hormones and GM feed used in conventional milk production. But do they offer a better deal for the cows?

There are no guidelines for the length of time organic dairy cows may be housed indoors, but completely indoor systems are prohibited. Highly invasive practices such as embryo transfer are forbidden but artificial insemination is allowed. Fertility hormones are prohibited for synchronising calving but not for bringing an infertile cow into heat. Calves must be group housed after seven days old. Castration with a rubber ring is allowed within the first week of life. Disbudding (permanently preventing horn growth by applying a hot iron to the horn-forming tissue) is allowed up to 3 months. Calves can’t be taken to market under one month old, but after this, eight hour journeys are allowed. Organic cows are still impregnated each year to provide a continuous supply of milk and separated from their calves within 24-72 hours of birth. The scheme also allows unwanted calves to be killed soon after birth (1).

Is it really better ?

Dear Heena Modi,

Thank you for your letter regarding the treatment of dairy cows in India. As Secretary of the European Parliament’s all party Animal Welfare Intergroup and Vice-President of the League Against Cruel Sports, animal welfare is an issue which I take very seriously.

There is unfortunately very little the European Parliament can do about the treatment of dairy cows in India and the United States as the European Union has no jurisdiction in these areas. I have however brought this situation to the attention of my colleagues Neena Gill MEP, Chairwoman of the India Delegation and Peter Skinner MEP, a member of the Delegations for Relations with the United States.

In the meantime, I would advise you to continue to raise awareness within the diary farming communities in India and the United States, encouraging farmers that well treated dairy cows will have better yield over a longer period of time.

Please know that I will continue to work for improvements in animal welfare across the European Union.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Evans MEP
Labour Party Member of the European Parliament

Although not the focus of the piece, this is the one of those
rare mainstream-press articles that confirms that calves are routinely killed / sold for meat as part of the milk production process).

Death and waste

“It’s a complete waste,” says Jones, who has 750 head of cattle near the village of Plaistow, south of London, and will kill all his 150 bull calves this year. “They keep telling us food is in short supply, and we keep killing healthy cows because there is no market for them. It’s madness.”

What do you think of this? In my opinion, the best would be if they were not produced in the first place since they are brought into this world as a byproduct, and many are shot straight after and disposed of.

However, given that there is a demand for milk, should we be encouraging meat eaters to eat veal? Or is there no difference between this and them being shot at birth?

The quote from the cattle farmer makes it very clear what they are “concerned” about – it’s not the healthy animals they’re killing that worries them (being shot in the head at birth is a lot less painful than being cooped up in a veal crate and then having their throats cut, let alone the miserable life the dairy cow has to endure before she is
transported hundreds of miles to wait in line with other worn out mothers at the slaughterhouse – or in poorer societies turfed out into the street to get run over or starve to death).

Encouraging meat eaters to eat veal would delight the dairy farmers because it would make the misery they inflict on the dairy cows even more profitable because they could sell the unwanted calves as well as the blood and pus laden milk industry they are a waste product of.

This is the same as wearing leather shoes as it helps the slaughterhouses stay profitable.

Conclusion – The only way to stop this kind of thing is simply to stop it – full stop.

The debate….
Is it about rights theory or welfare theory?
Neither! It’s about one basic issue: can we morally justify inflicting suffering and death on other sentient beings? If the answer to that is “no,” then we need to propose a solution.

We live in a world in which we kill 53 billion animals a year for food (not counting fish and other water animals). That is not going to end any time soon. So the question becomes: what to do now?

Some people say that we should propose incremental steps to end animal suffering, such as larger cages, more ‘humane’ slaughter methods, etc. Indeed, almost all of the large animal organizations propose this solution.

I maintain that this is not the way to go.

First of all, if we cannot justify torturing and killing nonhumans, then to propose ‘humane’ torture and killing as the answer is morally problematic. What would we say of a child advocate who proposed ‘humane’ pedophilia; a women’s advocate who proposed ‘humane’ rape?

Second, animal welfare measures simply do not work. As I have argued for 20 years in my work, animal welfare reforms provide precious little protection for animal interests. For the most part, these reforms actually make animal production more economically efficient.

For example, a producer who gasses chickens using the method that PETA advocates will have an initial capital outlay to purchase the technology, but will actually make greater profit–and significantly so.

Third, animal welfare reforms make the public feel more comfortable about continuing to exploit animals. The news is filled with stories on an almost daily basis of people who are going back to eating animal products because PETA or some other group has proclaimed them to be ‘more humane.’

In the end, we live in a world of limited resources–we all have limited time, money, and energy. We have a choice to make. How shall we spend our time and resources? Today, I have a choice of whether I am going to spend my time encouraging people to go vegan or encouraging them to eat ‘humane’ products. I cannot do both. It is a zero sum game. Every minute I spend on ‘cage free’ eggs is a minute
less than I can spent on ‘NO eggs’!

For me, the answer is easy: I devote a part of each day–sometimes a very large part–to educating people about veganism. Veganism is the only solution consistent with the moral view that we cannot justify imposing suffering and death on animals–however ‘humane’ it may be.

Veganism is the only practical solution as well. It is the only answer that actually reduces demand and, at the same time, creates a base of people who live Ahimsa (non violence) in their life everyday.

In short, the vegan/abolitionist approach that I advocate is not merely theoretically consistent with view that we cannot justify inflicting suffering and death on sentient animals, it is pragmatic as well. If there is anything that is not pragmatic, it is the approach urged by PETA and other groups: that making torture ‘better’ will make
torture go away. That is folly; it is a strategy that will only further enmesh violence and make it more acceptable.

Dear Heena

I note from the Food For Life website that within the
Hare Krishna movement there is a move towards what they call Krishnadairyism (it’s also referred to as “conditional veganism”). Krishnadairyism is when they only consume dairy products that have come from loved and protected cows. When such milk is not available they choose vegan food and drink, which means that for the most part they live a vegan lifestyle because there is not yet enough milk from protected cows to supply everyone in the Hare Krishna movement. I think the Hare Krishnas only have a handful of farms at the moment. My impression though is that there are still many ISKON devotees who consume commercial dairy products in the absence of Krishnadairy products.

Another interesting fact that caught my attention is that due to the loving treatment of the cows on the ISKON farms, they do not necessarily need to be with calf to produce milk, and of the cows that have given birth, most of them go on producing milk for many years after their calves have stopped weaning.

I’m very curious to know what people think about this concept. ie. is Krishnadairyism as good as veganism or better / worse. Is there any benefit in humans and animals having the sort of relationship described above or is it better if humans try and live completely independently of animals.

Regards

Theo

    Heena Modi · February 17, 2009 at 1:13 pm

    Wow! I’m not sure if we should consume animal produce even if they are kept in such a nice way BUT the idea that they can be kept so lovingly that they keep producing milk is amazing!

I have never said that I don’t care about the health of any human.
However, I do not think that humans NEED dairy/animal milk to survive or be well.
Thus why harm so many animals to source something that we don’t need?
