Milked out, is a cow also entitled to a pension?
Harmke the oldest cow (25) in the Netherlands died. Harmke 309 was still really pampered last October when she turned 25, but soon after she quickly deteriorated and died.
Most cows in the Netherlands do not grow older than a j years or seven , Harmke 309 last gave milk five years ago but produced more than 135,000 litres of milk and 10,000 kilograms of fat and protein . She also got 14 offspring .
Mother cows that are relegated to milking machine. It starts at the birth of a calf.
0 HOURS OLD
A cow only gives milk when it gets a calf. To give milk continuously, she gets a new calf every year. Every cash cow you see is pregnant or just given birth. The calf is an unnecessary residual product. Only 20% of calves born on the farm stay alive for milk production. The rest goes to a meat calf company to be fattened fat.
1 HOUR OLD
Immediately after birth, the farmer takes the calf away from his mother. They'll never see each other again. The first weeks of his life, the cow baby is in a calf gloo. only. He drinks artificial milk from a bucket. His breast milk is for human consumption.
2 WEEKS OLD
After two weeks, the calf goes to the meat calf farm with hundreds of peers in the truck, where it is fattened for slaughter. The calf is standing alone in a cage here for weeks. He gets a bucket of artificial milk and some solid food twice a day. Grass - its natural food - never eat the young grazer. The unsuitable diet causes anemia and stomach and intestinal disorders. This is how veal is made clear.
2 MONTHS OLD
After six weeks, the calf goes to a group booth. With five others in a tight space on a hard grid floor without straw. Grazing and frolicking in a meadow is not included. Play doesn't work either, because it slips on the smooth floors. The calf never comes out, never smells fresh air and never sees daylight.
6 MONTHS OLD
Due to the many germs, low resistance, poor housing and unhealthy food, the calf does not stand a chance against diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia. In his short life, he is treated with antibiotics at least two or three times. Within a year, he goes to slaughter and his short and miserable existence comes to an end.
Would dairy farmers themselves secretly know that exploitation of animals is not good?

Man, by the way, is the only mammal that consumes milk from another mammal. It's pretty crazy, if you think of it like that.
