Moms Defend Rape, Kidnapping & Murder

There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding dairy farming.

Now this isn’t about pointing fingers but
certain groups of certain people

[coughs and very obviously say “vegans”]

Excuse me!

...have made it their mission to spread harmful lies about dairy, threatening the livelihood

of hardworking farmers.

So if you want to survive in today’s kill-or-be-subjected-to-the-aggressive-sanctimonious-whinging-of-animal-

activists-surpassed-in-grating-annoyance-only-by-utter-inaccuracy-to-the-point-where-you-pray-they-renounce-

veganism-just-so-you-can-be-killed-world...listen up!

Hey there, modern Dairy Queen.

You work long, hard hours to feed your family—and
families all across this great nation—with

wholesome, quality nutrition pumped fresh
from the nipples of a 1,300-pound mammal by

sterilized machinery, into a metal storage
vat, transferred to a tanker truck, driven

to a factory, tested for all sorts of strange,
pasteurized, homogenized, separated, processed,

packaged, shelved, purchased, and drunk up
by kids everywhere—just like nature intended!

So you don’t have time for any anti-dairy
propaganda-wielding wingnuts trying to give

honest, hardworking people like you a bad
name!

That’s why today we’re going to learn
how to answer these ungrounded activist accusations

head on—show them you’ve got nothing to
hide by telling the truth, the whole truth

and something but the truth.

[wink]

Let’s jump right in and start with the most
controversial dairy industry practice: the

removal of dairy calves from their mothers.

This thoughtful and loving act is unjustly
warped into emotionally-manipulative rhetoric

of the mother cows grieving their “babies”
who are “kidnapped” in order to “steal”

their milk.

That’s where the brilliance of this approach
shines—who better to put these concerns

to rest than actual mothers!

Laurie: Hi I’m Laurie Spahr with Spahr Jersey
Farms.

I live here with my husband Brian and our
two daughters.

To dispel any talk of industry insider propaganda
bring in an outsider to ask the really tough

questions

Liz: My name is Liz Fourez and I blog at LoveGrowsWild.com

Now throw in some inspiring music and sweeping
visual shots.

That’s just @#$%& beautiful.

Now it’s time to get serious and tackle
these absurd lies head-on.

Liz: I noticed that I don’t see any babies
around here.

Where are the calves—

Laurie: Yeah, yeah

Liz: —at?

That’s right—show how eager you are to
share the truth by not even letting that #^$ finish

her thought.

Laurie: That’s a good question.

All of the cows in this barn are girls, and
only girls can make milk, so girls are what

keep our business rolling.

Some constructive criticism: maybe try to
sound less like you’re running a house of

ill-repute.

And it’s quite a bold move bringing up the
whole male/female thing—best to gloss-over

any questions about how an all-girl herd keeps
gettin’ knocked up.

Don’t want to open the door for ridiculous
“rape” accusations from activists taking

forced vaginal and anal penetration out of
context!

And any troubling questions about where the
baby boys go…

Laurie: And people always ask, “Well, where
are your babies?”

Quick tip: If you have any inkling of maternal
instincts, be sure to put those on hold for

the time being.

And if you’re nervous, just remember—you’re
telling people to do something they already

want to do: eat ice cream, cheese, milk, and
yogurt.

It’s not about convincing them, it’s about
giving them the peace of mind to keep doing

what they want to do anyways!

Honestly, it doesn’t even have to make sense!

You can even try tossing out completely irrelevant
statement like they’re commendable acts:

Laurie: We do birth our own babies here so
that the calves are delivered on site.

Nailed it.

And now for the true brilliance—not only
own up to removing calves, but show how this

so-called “kidnapping” is really an act
of compassion from a caring mother.

I’m mean, you’re pretty much a god-d^&n
bovine Mother Theresa!

Laurie: Then it’s actually safer to move
them to a different facility so that they

don’t get stepped on, they don’t get sat
on—‘cause these are large animals and

sometimes when they plop down, sometimes they’re
not really looking where they’re gonna sit.

Brilliant!

See, you’re not tearing apart families—No!—you’re
saving lives!

Never mind that you’re the one actually
confining these cows in an unnaturally crowded

environment and then using that to justify
taking their babies away.

Most people won’t take the time to think
that through.

They just want to be able to down a pint of
Häagen Dazs in peace.

Now you’re getting crap for keeping your
cows inside, just offer another straightforward

response:

Liz: Do the cows have a chance to go out to
pasture at all?

Or you said they’re all—

Laurie: well

Liz: —inside?

Laurie: What happens is, just like the human
cycle when a woman is nursing, they dry ‘em

up, which means they just stop milking them.

That’s exactly like how humans nurse!

Laurie: And then they have a little vacation
and they do hang out in the pasture.

And they sort of just, um, take some time
off…

See, dairy farms aren’t slave labor camps
like those activists would have you think.

They’re f&*$% 5-star spa resorts!

Now illustrate how your iron-clad logic has
the skeptical outsider.

Liz: So it’s for their own benefit—

Laurie: It really is

Liz: —to take them and put them in their
own separate area.

Laurie: Absolutely.

Fantastic.

Now, even though you’ve already won, why
not go the extra mile and finish strong:

Laurie: We can keep them in an environment
that’s very clean and make sure they’re

being cared for the way they should be.

Then before anyone has a chance to question
why taking a baby away from their mother is

the way it should be, just shut that &$*^ down.

Like before she’s even done getting that
final word out.

Now that you have mothers endorsing this whole
practice, feel free to bring in the big guns

for reinforcement:

Make sure to toss in how dangerous mothers
and babies are to one another!

Fred: The biggest advantage to individual
rooms and hutches for calves, is it prevents

disease transmission.

We have known for a long time that calves
and heifers that are raised separately from

the adult herd have less disease.

It’s a wonder how any animal reproduced
before you intervened!

And if anyone tries to point out that issues
of cleanliness could arise from the conditions

and stressors on the cows, just nip that $%^# in
the bud.

Feel free to go bold, like this dairy blogger’s
expert answer to a beef farmer’s wife, whose

“instincts told her that it was cruel to
separate a mother cow and her calf.”

Oh, what you poor dairy farmers have to deal
with!

Even other people in the industry think you’re
@#& monsters!

From blog: Cows are all too well-known for
their willingness to lay in manure, even when

clean bedding is available.

Any manure or bacteria on a cow’s udder
would be ingested by the calf when it tried

to drink.

What #$@* filthy animals.

Don’t forget to still assure any skeptical
mothers out there by identifying with their

experience:

Fred: Just like baby infants are removed and
put in a nursery, we kind of do the same thing

with baby calves for their health.

Of course human mothers get their babies back,
but don’t get lost in the minutia.

Instead, show how good these calves have it!

Fred: In the summer time, when it’s really
warm out, a hutch is really nice because they

have a little outside area in front of the
hutch, kind of like a patio where they can

go out and they have fresh air and sunlight.

See, I’d take a luxury condo over maternal
bond any day!

Fred: In the wintertime, they’re protected
from the wind in that hutch—deep straw bedding,

and we also put what’s called a “calf
coat” on them or a calf blanket to keep

‘em warm.

Who needs the warmth of a mother’s embrace
when you’ve got some straw and a blanket.

Fred: And then at a certain age they’re
grouped according to age—much like schoolchildren

are.

We’re grouped according to age and with
our pen-mates

Y’know how it was in school.

Hanging out with your peers, eating lunch
through metal bars, going through the right

of passage into womanhood of losing your virginity
to a gloved appendage.

Brings me back.

Before we close out, let’s go over a few
Don’t’s to keep in mind.

Never show calves actually being taken from
their mothers, or the mother’s reaction.

If you’ve leaned heavily on the whole “cows
make horrible mothers” approach, do not

show them defending their young.

The sanctuary workers realized Clarabell had
given birth in secret and hid her calf so

well in the tall grass it took workers a while
to find her.

Becaise every baby she'd ever had had been
taken away from her by the dairy farmers.

Clarabell assumed her new humans would do
the same.

Definitely don’t mention how dairy cows
bodies give out almost two decades prior to

their natural lifespan.

(That doesn’t go over well.)

And whatever you do, never EVER say anything
about where the male calves go.

Don’t.

Don’t watch that!

I hope you enjoyed this instructional video.

Don’t let manipulative vegan propaganda
soil your good name!

Give the video a thumbs-up and share it around
to spread the truth about the wonders of dairy.

If you want to support future myth-busting
videos, see the support links in the description

below or the link in the sidebar.

Now go fly your dairy flag with pride!

Go.

Just go.

Don’t look over there, just go!

Go eat your ice cream.

The mothers said it was okay!
