The dairy industry: Social media images to share
Dairy Takes Babies Away
Suggested caption: Mothers and daughters naturally stay in the same herd for life. The dairy industry takes babies away a few hours after birth just so humans can have her milk. This is traumatic for both the mother and the baby, who will never see each other again. Choose vegan.
Not your mum? Not your milk.
Suggested caption: Like us, cows only produce milk when they have a child to feed. Mothers have their baby stolen within hours of giving birth, all so humans can drink her milk made for her baby. Not your mum? Not your milk! Choose vegan.
Is Dairy Really Worth It?
Suggested caption: Dairy is the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the EU food system and a leading cause of global warming. Next time you buy dairy, ask yourself: is it really worth it?
Think Veganism Is Extreme?
Suggested caption: Which one sounds more extreme to you?
They Are Mothers, Not Machines
Suggested caption: Cows are socially complex animals who form bonds for life. Mothers stay with their daughters for life in the wild, but the dairy industry takes this away. Mothers are treated like milk machines, routinely impregnated and separated from their babies just so humans can have her milk. Choose vegan!
