Cows that are used to make milk will always be killed when they stop producing milk. To make milk cows need to be pregnant. A female will have 4 babies usually in her lifetime, 2 of which will probably be male. The males will be killed for veal meat when they are 1 month one to half a year old.
To make some kinds of cheeses they use animal rennet which is an extracted part of the intestinal tract of a baby animal like a cow or goat. The animal needs to die for it to be obtained, and the most disgusting part is it's legal for them to keep rennet off of the ingredients list because it's not really an ingredient. They use it to harden the cheese.
Just a question. Is it hard to become vegan? Cause people like me who ate dairy and meat would probably have a hard time.
They can make artificial rennet, but if they're going to kill the calf anyways, why not use it? The problem is that we live in a meat culture where killing an animal is justifiable if it is the easiest and cheapest method. Even if it wasn't rennet, it would be something else just as bad.
Becoming vegan is very easy. Most vegans ate dairy and meat at some point in their life. ^^ I went vegetarian when I was 17 and vegan when I was 18. It's only hard if you don't do research or ask questions. Sure it can be tricky sometimes, but I love animals so much that it's like - why ever hurt them? If you love them and use that love to give you strength and keep you going being vegan is not only easy but makes you feel great as a person.
People always find an excuse to hurt animals and it's sickening.
Maybe I will eventually become vegan myself
Make sure to buy plenty of vegan cookbooks, there are lots of different types of vegan foods and variety is really important so you don't get bored. Check out your local library too perhaps, I know mine has lots of vegan books which really surprised me.
If you ever have any questions about veganism or what not feel free to send me a note. Thanks for keeping an open mind about how you interact with animals.
