The World Peace Diet: Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony

The Domination of the Feminine / 119
The same scenarios apply to dairies that produce so-called organic
milk products, except that the feed is organic, there is a limit to some of
the hormones and other toxins, and there may be a little more space in
the prison stall. The cows are still slaughtered after a few years, and the
same pricing mechanism drives the industry: to get the most milk for the
cheapest price. Individual cows are worth very little, since maximizing
pregnancies boosts milk production and there are always more calves
on hand than can be used.
This brings us to the second possible path for calves born on the
dairy: they may be killed shortly after birth if the veal industry and beef
industry demand is low. The rennet in their young stomachs is valuable
for making cheeses. Their bodies are then ground up for animal feed,
and their skin is used for more expensive leather. Sometimes pregnant
cows are sent off to slaughter. In this case, the fetal calves that fall out
of them when they are sliced open must be killed separately by the
slaughterhouse workers. These unborn babies are skinned for the soft
leather on their small, wet bodies, which fetches quite a high price.
The third possible path for dairy-born calves is to be auctioned to
the veal industry. Both males and females are forced down this dark and
miserable path when they are not needed on the dairy (this includes
organic dairies). The abuse these poor creatures must endure for their
short lives is well known and documented. They are forced into veal
crates and chained at the neck as soon as they arrive at the veal operation,
only days or weeks old. These crates are built small, to confine the
calves so they cannot move, causing their muscles to be undeveloped
and their “meat” more tender. They are kept in darkness and fed a diet
purposefully deficient in iron so their flesh will be pale, which brings a
higher price. They will frantically suck on or lick any iron, like nails that
happen to be within reach. They endure this cruel confinement, often
covered with their own excrement. Their naturally joyful and frolicsome
temperaments are destroyed by the pain and hopelessness of their situations.
Their liquid diet is laced with chemicals, drugs, and antibiotics,
and after three to four months, they are trucked to the slaughterhouse
to be killed for the veal and calfskin markets.
The fourth path for dairy-born calves, if they are male, is to be auc-
