AUSTRALIAN Dairy and meat industry!!!!??!!?!?!?

Question

OK.....need this answered. I was online looking at PETA...animal cruelty. They had this thing about the terrible conditions cows live in in America. They showed them in tiny little pens where they couldn't even turn around. They showed them being hit, prodded etc for no real reason. They showed them being slaughtered in really cruel and painful ways. They also showed dairy cows....they said they force cows to continually have babies, so they have to produce milk, and when the baby is born, they take it away and kill it or use it for meat. This is how they get the cows to produce milk so we can drink it!! This has completely put me off meat and milk after seeing the videos. Just wondering if anyone knows if the Australian meat industry and dairy farmers are less cruel and how they work it? Do they also take new born calfs away from mothers and force them to continually have babies just so we can have milk?? Would really appreciate helpful answers so I can make an informed decision! TA!!

Answer 1

The young calf is taken away from its mother so you and I can enjoy eating VEAL.

Veal is a really pale almost milky coloured meat. It's that colour because it has only ever injested MILK.

I do not see this as being cruel - i see it as being TASTY. Think of great recipies like veal saltimbocca or even just veal snitzel...

As for hurting the animals, that is nasty.

Australia has some pretty tough laws on slaughtering so I would suggest you have nothing to fear in Australia.

Also, the farmers treat their animals with great care and respect - in the end, the cattle are their livelyhood.

If they take an ill treated animal to auction, it will show and they will be paid less for their cattle - so by treating them correctly they win in the end.

As for not wanting to drink milk anymore - there are plenty of dairy substitutes available - soy milk, rice milk, goats milk, sheep milk...

But then think about the next time you want a chocolate bar... You cant have dairy milk chocolate with out the dairy...

Answer 2

possibly, yet they do no longer flow touting that a bigmac is the comparable as a lean shrink of beef or that a pitcher of entire milk blended w/nesquik is the comparable as a pitcher of skim. human beings might desire to glean the certainty from the message and not practice it in techniques that lead them to sense as though they are eating appropriate. the comparable ought to be suggested for those that push vegetables and the guy getting the message coats his broccoli in velveeta. Meat and dairy, while used wisely and in conjunction w/culmination vegetables and entire grains, may well be an particularly healthful area of one's eating recurring.

If you think that is bad you wouldn't last long in China.
