“For a cow to produce milk, she must have a calf yearly. The calf is taken away immediately at birth.”

“If the calf is female, she is raised to become a milking cow. And if a calf is a male, he is useless to the dairy farm.”

“The veal industry was created to use all these unwanted male calves born on dairy farms.”

“With the increasing concern over veal calves, dairy calves are raised as beef cattle.”

“And ultimately, when dairy cows are no longer profitable on a dairy farm, they are slaughtered and used for beef.”

‘When humans treat other animals with cruelty, it dehumanises us, and we start rationalising violence.”

“Male calves, a day old, are sent to slaughter. Most often, owners of a male calf will abandon the calf, leaving it to graze on garbage and die, or tether the calf in deserted areas to die.”

“The dairy development industry hires armies of para-vets, who end up puncturing the cows uteruses, causing internal bleeding. The cows die within 10 to 15 days; no one is held accountable.”

“I have been to those areas of the world,
and I have had general statements made to me
that they don’t abuse children in their culture.
I tell them to pick any city in their country,
and I will show them, using our software, within 24 hours
how many people have traded these horrible images
of three-year-olds being raped.“

“We find that the wealthier the offenders get,
they are often able to conduct their lifestyle of abuse
in a way with less fear of getting caught.
Some of the worst, most organised, dangerous groups
on the Internet are more educated
and of a socially upper class.”

“The reality is that the predator
will often have such an influence on the family,
whether it’s financial stability or just a good con man,
to convince them that it was not that bad.
On the other side of that, you have a victim
who will never be the same and never live up
to their full potential.”

“When people reduce meat and animal consumption,
they often start with bigger animals like cattle, pigs, and then maybe chicken. But if people change their animal consumption to reduce animal suffering, they would start with the animals that suffer the most—laying hens and dairy cows.”

“Most people usually assume that cows continually lactate; people don’t realise that cows are constantly re-impregnated, and their babies are taken away for slaughter so we can drink the milk. I want people to understand cows’ suffering, especially female animals, who are kept in cramped conditions and eventually killed (by the time they are around four years old).”
