Drinking milk and eating cheese don’t hurt cows, right? WRONG!
Cows used in the dairy industry are confined to filthy, stressful environments. In order to prevent them from defending themselves (like any of us would if we were in that situation!), farmers destroy their horns with painful tools, including knives, shears, handsaws, and even hot irons, which are often so hot that they damage the underlying bone of the calf’s skull—all of this without any painkillers! 
Don’t believe me? Check out our new video narrated by Casey Affleck describing this cruel and painful process!
YOU have the power to stop this! All you have to do is ditch dairy products and choose instead from the many different kinds of vegan milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream available at your local grocery store!
Don’t forget to spread dairy’s dirty secret and urge everyone you know to go vegan!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)
