The thing is though, we don’t tie cows to chairs, put on creepy X-eyed potato sack masks and blindfold them. It was a good thought to include animal rights but she could have gone about it in a less creepy/disturbing way.

Thank you for saying this! People just don’t seem to want to do their own reason rather than reading PETA babble.

I loved it! I had to rewind the video to see what it was about since my daughter, a high school student, has educated me on farm factories. I NEVER KNEW. There isn’t, in my opinion, anything wrong with farming. My mother grew up on a farm, but her animals were treated well. Farm factories, however, are unbelievable and if Americans knew more about them, they would be outlawed. We just DON’T know. So, I love that she did that, the gay wedding, and btw, the lyrics are not “panty snatchers,” but “penny snatchers,” so she isn’t Katy Perry after all. She’s still the Pink we love! http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/campaigns/factory_farming/

I’m afraid your view of the dairy industry is one that has been completely created by organizations such as PETA. As a fellow dairy producer, we know that in order for our animals to perform their best, we have to keep them as comfortable and healthy as possible. When you say that cows are “force fed hormones,” I can’t help but wonder where you are getting this information from. In my 20 years of dairy experience, I have yet to see a farmer force food down a cow’s throat. Also, if a cow produced more than she could handle, she would no longer be healthy, therefore not profitable to the dairy producer, so why would they do that to her in the first place? Also, when you say that cows lactate “waaaay past amount of time,” it first of all does not make sense, and second of all, what are you comparing normal to? Cows 50 years ago are clearly not going to produce as much milk due to the fact that genetic progress has been made, we feed cows much HEALTHIER feed now, and have increased cow COMFORT to a level at which they can optimally produce. As to your comment concerning the cows that “can barely walk with these huge artificially swollen udders,” I can’t help but wonder, have you actually seen this? Because if a cow can barely walk, I guarantee you they aren’t going to be able to make it to the parlor twice a day to be milked in the first place. I don’t mean to sound rude, but I know too many dairy farmers that put their heart and soul into the care of their animals, and do not deserved to be bashed by people that have no idea what actually goes on at a dairy farm.

A cow drinking the breast milk of human women…strange, alien, incorrect [Flip Side] A human drinking udder milk from a cow….strange alien, incorrect. Go Figure….

As a vegan (and athlete) convert of 6 years, I spent my life consuming a lot of milk, eggs and various other dairy products including stacks of meat (until I almost became diabetes type 2), I then watched the Michael Klaper video and converted….even Oxford University in a recently commissioned study [2010] bought to the forefront, just how much of a lie we have all been fed….protein requirement = 35/40g per day max, which can be sourced from plant based foods….including all known vitamins and minerals…we are just pawns of the money making establishment [farming subsidies] known as government, who pedal this tripe of “you need protein, meat and dairy”…

Pink will really touch a nerve of the giant dairy industry with this video and hope it really really hurts this industry that causes the suffering of millions of animals every year!!!

I always think when I hear this argument that while yes it’s true we’re the only animal to consume the milk of another, we are also the only animal that freezes food, cooks food and grows food. We also flavour food, export food and process food. Sometimes being the only animal to do something isn’t that awful. We’re also the only animal that can fly to the moon. Not even bumblebees can manage that.

My grandparents owned a dairy farm. They never used hormones, their cows were free to roam in fields when not being milked and once passed their productive milking years were put out to pasture instead of turned into dog food (which may have had something to do with why they never made any money). So not all farmers indulge in disgusting practices as discussed here. Find an ethical source, it’s not impossible!

My cats must be doing it wrong… they’ll happily drink (lactose-free) milk if I give it to them!

i think the commentary may mean that it makes about as much sense to hold women captive to provide milk for cows (for whom the milk is not suited) as it does the reverse. ever seen a working dairy farm and how they hook up the cows to machines to constantly produce milk? they force feed them hormones to make them lactate waaay past a normal amount of time. the poor things can barely walk with these huge artificially swollen udders, and then are confined in a small pen type space, hooked up to a machine that pumps their milk…for most of their days and lives, until they’re too old.

pink is a huge animal rights activist, and i think she sees (dairy) farming as enslavement.

Also, humans are the only species who consume any kind of milk past infancy/early childhood – and it’s not even human milk, but some other species’ milk which isn’t really suitable for our digestive systems

it’s all just whack.

This makes sense, and I did not know she was vegetarian. Thank you for enlightening me.
