The Ter-moo-nators (Cows in Action)

Product Information

Male calves are not the only babies to be killed by the dairy industry (more about this later), as some calves are killed while they are still in their mother’s womb. And some don’t even get six months outside.

The dairy industry even admits that this practise is extremely problematic, calling it an ‘own goal’:
