QUICK FACTS
Male calves born on dairy farms are commonly taken and kept in cramped crates since they cannot produce milk. After several weeks in isolation, they are killed and sold as “veal.”
The production of cow’s milk creates three times as much greenhouse gas emissions and uses up to twenty times as much freshwater compared to plant-based milks.
Like humans and other mammals, mother cows must become pregnant to produce milk. Mother cows and their calves experience stress when separated soon after birth on dairy farms.
Cows are individuals who demonstrate distinct personalities, the ability to learn and feel, the capacity to experience emotions, and much more.
Most of the world’s agricultural land is used to raise animals for meat and dairy, however, these products (plus farmed fish) provide just 17% of the world’s calories and 38% of its protein.
