Animal cruelty; Milking cows, is it wrong? You decide.

Ok so first side: Its naturally healthy to drink cows milk, and if cows arent milked they would become distressed and will suffer serious amounts of pain.

Now my opinion? Although its hard to stay away from those gorgeous looking tim tams and that tub of ice cream in the freezer thats just calling for you, i DO NOT beleieve that they need to be milked. I have done my research and thought alot about this. In a way I would love to say its not cruel and in some cases i really dont think it is, but when the cow has been inpregnated, taken away from its calf (which cows form strong bonds with at birth), force fed (no, not grazing by choice, they are forced), and are kept in small enclosures and milked (which is only natural when its going to its calf) it is very cruel. I dont think being kept in shelters, being fed or milked is cruel, but being taken away from their calf and constantly milked even when theyre not lactating naturally and then KILLED when theyve stopped producing the wanted amounts of milk is EXTREMELY CRUEL!

If people choose to eat animal products its up to them and doesnt mean they are bad people, its just the way we've been brought up. Everyone has a consience and can make decisions for themselves. So no one can exactly say they care alot yet they just cant stop.

Just like, if we were all brought up in a world of fighting, hatred and murdorous people and everyone was just in a massive battle against eachother. Theres got to atleast be a few who have a different view on life and think wrongly of all the violence right? Atleast i should hope so. So my last point. Its up to the individual. For milk, agaisnt milk. Either way everyone could always help to make a better future, and better living standards for cows and their calves.
