It's obvious they were trying to do a "lol, we're so clever" approach to it, and not actually serious. Then again, their society is full of hypocrisy, so who knows?

Edit: Xsyven I have a Question: If my sig shows up automatically when I use the quick post function does that mean my post is long enough to where I won't get a sig violation?
Hit the "show my sig" button so it doesn't do it automatically. It can be changed to default off in your user cp.


Well, the thing is, most cows used for milk are constantly made pregnant so that we can take it all year round. These cows often have hormones put in them, and are bred and genetically changed so that they produce more milk. Being milked as often as these cows are makes for a painful life. On top of that, many of the male cows that milk cows produce are used for veal.
Animals, including humans, will produce Milk, even years after they've had a baby, as long as the milk is being 'withdrawn' at regular intervals. A cow will only have to be impregnated once, even artificially, to get the milk flowing, after that, any further breeding is simply to produce more cows, not more milk.

Brb, eating a whole cow.

Seriously PETA, human milk? What kind of people honestly care more about other creatures more than their own species? Its not like we're killing off the cow or something, we are not putting it on the endangered species list. I could understand protest if B&J's was using albino rhinoceros milk or something but seriously, these are cows, creatures who's entire meaning in existence with or without humans is to be eaten by a more dominant species. But seriously, im eating a steak right now and its ****ing delicious.

Oh so they lied in the article. Saying that they have to be repeatedly impregnated.

lol...W-H-A-T!!?

who in their right mind would want to drink breast-milk *yuck* *perv that likes your mom*

PETA indeed is foolish if they think they will actually lessen the cow suffering once people realize what they are actually drinking.

That is true, but from what I hear, baby cows from dairy cows are sometimes sold and used for veal or just butchered by the same company, getting some cash on the side, some justification for more impregnation. I hear this, anyway.
