Did You Know?
Cows are gentle giants—curious, clever animals who have been known to go to extraordinary lengths to escape from slaughterhouses. They’re also gregarious, preferring to spend their time with other cows, and they form complex relationships, much like dogs in packs.
But in the U.S., more than 29 million cows suffer and die in the meat and dairy industries every year. When still very young, many of them are branded (burned with hot irons), dehorned (their horns are gouged out or cut or burned off), and castrated (males’ testicles are ripped out of their scrotums)—all without painkillers.
So what are you waiting for? Now is the perfect time to pledge to go vegan!
