I subscribe to the Mercy for Animals blog (a wonderful blog, if you haven't checked it out). They recently put together a video on an undercover investigation they conducted at a dairy factory...I mean, "farm." This is a very eye-opening video. In one of the most powerful scenes, a worker shoves several of his his fingers two-knuckles-deep into a calf's eye socket to better control her head as he painfully burns her horns off. I had to look away...
I blogged earlier that my resolution for 2010 has been reducing my dairy intake. I'm trying to only buy organic, hormone-free, free range dairy products, which are hard to find in my neck of the woods. I have completely stopped eating cheddar (my old favorite...but I couldn't stomach it any more). If you are also considering reducing or eliminating your dairy intake or going completely vegan, watching this video will give you the motivation you need!
