The annual #februdairy embarrassment

[andyswarbs]

Dairy in the UK is trying to fight back against the onslaught of plant based milks etc. Last year when they ran this is was a total embarrassment for them and simply increased the take-up of veganism post veganuary. This year is set for an even bigger battle, but with the troica of animal ethics, personal health and planetary health dairy is onto a loser.

Dairy is Scary by Erin Janus youtube.com/watch?v=UcN7SGG...(Not working as expected?) is a definitive resource on the subject. Feel free to share it again across social media with the hastags #ditchdairy and #dairyiscary.

All that dairy has left is taste and as plant based cheeses improve even that hallowed ground is being litterally eaten into.

Just awful, couldn't watch all the way through - got the jist.

Your right Andy - what an absolute embarassment.

Good riddens to Dairy

1st time seeing Erin Janus‘s video ("DAIRY IS SCARY! The industry explained in 5 minutes"), andyswarbs.

Utterly shocking 😱 , traumatising 😨 😭 😢 !

Absolutely NOT for "sensitive souls" 🥺 viewing. On other hand, perhaps it takes this shocking jolt of brutal reality to awaken those of us who are unaware of such inhuman treatment of supposedly "happy cows"!! 🤯

.

Unconscionable treatment of fellow animals (sentient beings), all in the pursuit of our "imagined need" of animal milk 🥛 , cheese 🧀 , ice cream 🍦 , meat 🥩…

. . . Perhaps such traumatising videos 📹 should appear within the very same refrigerated display cases that sell our 🥛 🧀 🍦 🥩 ?!

.

Perhaps men, women, (& even children?) SHOULD be exposed to the shocking reality of HOW the milk on our cereal 🥣 , the cheese on our pizza 🍕 , the ice cream 🍨 in our bowl, & the meat in our burgers 🍔 are ‘produced’?!

[A far cry from "happy cows" leisurely grazing on vast green pastures. 🖼 🐄 🐄 ]

.

Not a fan of "shoving in face" of harsh reality toward anyone. Yet, HOW does one convey the depth & extent of unconscionable brutality/ cruelty when words alone won’t do? 🤔 🤷

This 4-year old, 5+ million view video brilliantly conveys reality within a 5-minute summary cheerily narrated by a smiling young woman juxtaposed/ intercut with horrific scenes of ‘routine’ animal cruelty — all done to feed our supposed "need" for 🥛 🧀 🍦 🥩 !

.

How do we forgive ourselves 🙏 😔 for unwittingly/ unknowingly/ thoughtlessly participating in such a system?!

How do we expeditiously awaken people who are still sleeping-ly unaware of the extent of what actually goes on behind closed barn doors? And, how do we make people aware that our seemingly "wholesome, innocuous, innocent, healthy, harmless" purchases of these animal products do cause direct harm — do perpetuate a cycle ♻️ of unnecessary inhumanity toward sentient beings & harming ourselves in the process? 🤔

Words 🗣💬 alone don’t seem to ‘get through’. 😔

Perhaps such pornographic — obscene — video IS required to jostle more of us awake? 🤷 🤦

[Appreciate your raising awareness, andyswarbs; thank you. 🙏😌 . . . It cuts to the very core 💔🗡🥺🩸]

.

[Change will thankfully/ blessedly 👼 hasten when demand (individual purchases 💰en masse) shift from desire for (‘addiction’ to) animal products change back towards desire (actual ‘need’) for "real" whole plant foods. If industry/ institutions are unwilling/ incapable of change by "doing the right thing" initiated "top down"; they certainly are motivated to change when they lose 💰 "bottom up". 🙃💥🔨 ]
