Facts about the Milk You Drink

Do you have the common misconception that cows need to be milked constantly because they naturally produce milk?

Cows -- like all mammals -- produce milk to feed their own babies -- not humans.

Dairy Cows have it even worse than cattle raised for food.

To constantly produce milk, dairy cows must be kept pregnant every year by artificial insemination. A metal syringe is shoved in their vagina, and bull semen is inserted.

She is constantly hooked up to a milking machine, in a solitary pen, with only enough room to stand and lie down. She can not walk or move.
