God bless the Vegans

Have you ever thought about the life of a farm animal?

A dairy cow is artificially inseminated to have one calf after another to produce milk. Any mother can tell you that childbirth is not painless. The calves are soon torn away from their mothers so the mother’s milk can be sold.

She grieves after losing her baby, but nobody cares. She is nothing but a milk machine. Her udders can become very heavy, infected and painful. When she is no longer a good producer, she will be forced into a truck and hauled to a slaughterhouse. Imagine the terror she experiences as she sees those in front of her being killed! She knows her turn is coming, but she can’t escape!

Many calves are sold to the veal industry. They are chained in tiny stalls. They can barely move, so their muscles atrophy. They are killed when just a few months old.

So many animals are violently killed every day. Do you think God is OK with this? Is an animal’s life less important than ours? Ask the poor defenseless animals! God bless the vegans! By adopting a vegan diet, you save about 80 animals a year.
