MERCY for ANIMALS: Dairy Industry: Plant-Based Milks Are a “Serious Threat”

 
_____________________________________________________________________
 

by Joe Loria - May 10, 2017

According to DairyReporter.com, at a conference in Chicago, dairy executives discussed the challenges facing their industry, including plant-based milks.

 

“I think the threat is very serious,” said Select Milk Producers CEO Mike McCloskey. “I think that many people have stolen the identity of milk over the years and we as an industry have sat back and not responded like we should have.”

 

In an effort to crush the plant-based industry, member's of congress from dairy-producing states recently proposed the Dairy Pride Act, a piece of legislation that would ban plant-based companies from using the term “milk.”

 

The dairy industry should be scared. The popularity of plant-based milks is growing at an astronomical rate. In fact, earlier this year, NBC News reported that internet grocery delivery giant Instacart found searches for "non-dairy" up by 222 percent. What’s more, Elmhurst Dairy in Queens, New York, recently shut down after 90 years in business and switched to making plant-based milks.

 

This is all great news for cows. At dairy factory farms, these gentle animals are brutalized, forcibly inseminated, and confined in terrible conditions. Their calves are torn away from them shortly after birth. Male calves are killed for veal, and females are raised to produce more milk—trapped in a cycle of abuse for years until they are considered “spent” and sent to slaughter.

Don’t believe us? Watch this Mercy For Animals undercover footage from a dairy farm in Colorado.

Thankfully, you can avoid drinking pus and contributing to this despicable industry by switching to a healthy and compassion vegan diet.

MEMPHIS MEATS: VEGAN POULTRY BREAKTHROUGH! - Wall Street Journal Article

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY: MATTHIEU RICARD'S "A PLEA for the ANIMALS" is a Must Read
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/animal-emotions/201609/matthieu-ricards-plea-the-animals-is-must-read





From the Psychology Today Article:

A Plea for the Animals is an outstanding and well-referenced book that surely will make a difference for the billions of nonhumans who routinely suffer globally at the hands of humans, be it in slaughterhouses, laboratories, or other captive situations, or in what's left of their natural environs. Matthieu Ricard's heartfelt plea for us to tap into our caring and compassionate selves and to treat other animals with unbounded dignity and respect will go a long way toward inspiring people to see other animals for whom they truly are, to feel for them deeply, and to recognize how they fully depend on us to grant them the ability to be able to live their lives in peace and safety -- to survive and to thrive in an increasingly human-dominated world. By personally rewilding and understanding what other animals want and need, humans will more easily reconnect and become re-enchanted with other animals so that peaceful coexistence becomes a reality, and it will be a win-win for all concerned.

MATTHIEU RICARD - THE WORLD'S HAPPIEST MAN: Esquire Magazine

Below is a link to an Esquire Magazine article about Matthieu Ricard, a Tibetan Buddhist monk who is an extraordinarily happy man.

"LIFE LESSONS FROM THE WORLD'S HAPPIEST MAN" - ESQUIRE
http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/article/4915/matthieu-ricard-what-ive-learned/

From the article:

 

Highly complex MRI scans by cognitive scientists at the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience in Wisconsin have shown extraordinarily high levels of upbeat activity (-0.45 on a range where -0.3 is described as "beatific") and almost invisible levels of negative emotions. "I don't see everything as rosy," he says, "but the ups and downs of life don't unsettle me in the usual way."
