Cows – 8 October 2008
The Summer/Fall 2008 issue of CL (Compassionate Living magazine
published by Mercy For Animals) includes the following comments in
“Ask Anya.” Anya Todd is a vegan registered and licensed dietitian who
graduated from Case Western Reserve University and completed her
internship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
“I find it interesting that people balk at the idea of
breastfeeding, but have no problem drinking the milk of another
animal. …millions of dairy cows are enslaved in the US and live
miserable lives of constant impregnation. Remember, to produce milk, a
baby must be born.”
“This means millions of calves are born and taken away from their
mothers every year so humans can essentially suckle the teat of a cow.
Male calves are sent off to become veal, while female calves
eventually take the place of their mothers as milk producers. Poor mom
is usually turned into low-grade beef patties when her milk production
drops, usually around the age of 4 years.”

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
