The article rightly notes: "Some [animal advocates] claims are beyond dispute: Dairy cows are repeatedly impregnated by artificial insemination and have their newborns taken away at birth. Female calves are confined to individual pens and have their horn buds destroyed when they are about eight weeks old. The males are not so lucky. Soon after birth, they are trucked off to veal farms or cattle ranches where they end up as hamburger meat."
While the story goes on to suggest that work such as Animal Outlook's is pushing the dairy industry to reconsider many welfare concerns, and that dairy consumption has declined by 30 percent since 1975 and 20,000 dairy farms have gone out of business in the last decade, our position is clear, as stated in the article.
“People have this image of Old MacDonald’s farm, with happy cows living on green pastures, but that’s just so far from reality. Some farms might be less cruel than others, but there is no such thing as cruelty-free milk.”– Erica Meier, President of Animal Outlook
Caring consumers are increasingly choosing more compassionate plant-based options and leaving traditional dairy off the menu.

We need your help so we can continue exposing the realities of factory farming. This year, as part of our 25th anniversary celebration, five generous donors each contributed $25,000 to our matching campaign fund. All donations made to this campaign are being matched by these donors to help us raise a total of $250,000 as we launch into the next 25 years of exposing truth and inspiring change.
We are SO CLOSE to reaching our goal — only 8% left and two days to go. Can you help us cross the finish line? This is one of the last days to donate in 2020 and have your gift matched, going twice as far for animals.
We could not have achieved so much during this difficult year without your kind support. Please join us as we forge ahead into 2021 and beyond with our strategic, innovative work for farmed animals.
Thank you for all you do to help build a kinder world for farmed animals. Together, we’re demonstrating the power of compassion.
As a non-profit organization, Animal Outlook relies on donations from caring, generous people like you. Every dollar matters. Your support makes a world of difference to farmed animals.
