Around 150,000 dairy cows in the US
are butchered while pregnant. As their
bodies are knifed open, their babies
spill onto the floor.
*
About 15 percent of baby calves are murdered at less than 21 days old and are called “bob” veal. Their cadavers are put into  trash meats like hot dogs. Many can't walk to the killing rooms as their muscles are severely
underdeveloped.
  *
Cruelly spiked antisucking devices are inserted into calf nostrils. The spikes
keep their mothers from nursing them
 so that the milk can go to human children it makes obese or to
adults who often contract breast uterine ovarian cervical or prostate cancer from the hormone laden liquid.
*
Calves destined to be murdered for veal are killed at 16 to 18 weeks of age.
Mothers are separated from their babies by shocking rods, by kicking, etc. They
cry for days for their babies. The babies are then locked into small wooden crates which give them
no room to turn around as they are like Hansel and Gretel fattened for the kill. Soon he will be
slaughtered into changing from a calf into 'veal'.
*
Noserings are inserted into calves and cows. They are chained to walls, as the metal pulls an digs into their nostrils.
*
The animals in mass operations are not named... for names recognize personhood. They
are objectified, with numbers stapled to their ears.
*
Those male calves allowed to grow up are thrown down and castrated without anesthesia.

*

Again without anesthesis a red hot iron burns and brands a young cow's flesh.

**

As the girl calves grow they are inseminated so that they will produce milk.  They are given female hormones
for greater food yield. Their udders are painfully swollen. Milking machines often cause bleeding and infection.
The mucus drops into the milk.
*
There are videos of cows as pets who are playing ball, knocking the rubber sphere with their noses back
to their human companions.

It is said that over 90% of fast food hamburgers come from exhausted old or infertile young dairy cows.
*
In transport to slaughterhouses, cows and steers suffer thirst and hunger, freezing in winter in the mountain
passes of Rt 80 across Pennsylvania or baking in terrible heat as they are transported from feedlots etc.
*
Every year New Zealand, Australia, and other countries involved in live shipment of cows, sheep, pigs to
other countries, die of drowning as ships capsize.
*
Arriving at the slaughterhouse, some are classified as 4D animals (dead, dying, diseased or debilitated).
One can see these cows kicked, pulled with chains off of the truck, even forklifted as if they are a box of freight.
*
There is ample proof that some cows shed silent tears.
*
The valley of death...  the death chute in which innocents
are funneled toward decapitation machines or captive bolt pistols or being chained by the leg and jerked upside down
and upward to have their throats slit. A 1000 pound cow hanging upside down is hanging from her
slender chained ankle, causing agonizing pain.  
*
Imagine the pain that this nearly 1000 lb cow feels as his or her entire
body is hanging from a single hook. This also happens
at the slaughterhouse as they hang upside down suspended
chained by an ankle hook.

Human supremacists decree that 'murder' is assigned only
to humans. The truthveiling semanticists assign slaughter,
cull, herd thinning etc to animals' deaths. It is rare that
animal murder is discussed in elementary or highschool
classrooms.

30 runaway cows had brief freedom before they were shot
in front of horrified children. At least their deaths were not as horrible as at the slaughterhouse, and the children were
not kept in the dark so that they would continue eating
animal flesh.
