Mother Yashoda milking cows
BY: ENVER AJANOVIC
Nov 04, 2010 — UK (SUN) — It seems that dairy cows get slaughtered if we drink their milk less. If we drink less, prices of milk go down and the cows get punished. All the while, many devotees preach veganism and abstinence from milk.
Dairy Cow Slaughter Increases As Milk Prices Drop
Excerpt from the article published on CBS13.COM:
“Three months ago, mature milkers would sell for $2,500 to another dairy, but with nobody buying, dairymen are selling them on the beef market for only $1,100 each.
It is not just elderly cows that are going to slaughter, said Jon Dolieslager, owner of the Tulare County Stockyard in the heart of California dairy country.
The 262,500 slaughtered nationally in January is 43,500 more than in January 2008. Since September, federal livestock reports show that dairy cow slaughter is up 30 percent, while beef cow slaughter is down 14 percent.
“If milk was worth something, they’d be keeping them,” said Dolieslager.”

Excerpt from a related article: Milk prices turn higher; dairy farmers stop slaughtering herds, Associated Press:
Only months ago, dairy producers were slaughtering an average of 50,000 dairy cows a week because a milk glut made it impossible to sell their milk for what it cost to produce. Now, with prices improving, dairy farmers are reversing course, saying they’ll produce as much milk as possible this year.
It’s a wise strategy, according to most industry experts. Milk prices are expected to rebound in 2010 thanks to improved U.S. sales and a recovering export market, so producing as much milk as they can may be the best way for dairy farmers to make up last year’s losses………

I just do not understand how merciless people become….
If you can have some feelings or affection towards your own children,
why not these animals ????
Krishna Consciousness Is About Love Towards Our Lord Krishna !!
isnt it ???
If you are simply not able to show some love for an animal ( which is also a child of the lord , and especially the cows which were loved the most by The Lord ) how will you progress in KC ????
I doubt progress of such people…
Simply because it cannot give profits to you, you send it to the slaughter house ??? Dont you ???
What if you child remains unusefull to you, he becomes unable to serve you by some cause ….
Will you send him to the slaughter house ????
If your parents become old and unproductive will you send them to the slaughter house ????
Just because it isnt profiatble now any more you just forget all the things it has done for you ??? Dont you ???
Are you not even worse than a demon ??? Even a demon has some love for the ones who are near to it….!!!
But people today for their own selfishness can go to any extent….
Actually its this selfishness inside us which prevents our progress….
Kindly stop these activities and find ways to serve the lord instead
of killing and flowing blood of innocent creatures….
I dont think that we have learnt anything yet in KC if we cannot even protect the cows merely……
If simply we cannot protect cows how can you spread KC to the rest of the world ????
Its impossible…!!!!!!!!!!
