Why You Shouldn’t Give Your Kids Milk Chocolate This Halloween

Joe Loria October 27, 2016
Does your little one enjoy milk chocolate candy on
Halloween? Unbeknownst to you, there’s a shocking secret ingredient lurking in
that candy bar: animal cruelty.
What many don’t know is that cows suffer immensely to
unwillingly produce milk for our nation’s dairy farmers. Their baby calves
endure unthinkable abuse too.
This may seem obvious, but like all other mammals, in order
to produce milk cows have to be pregnant or have just given birth. So cows on
dairy farms are subjected to repeated artificial insemination, a highly
invasive and stressful procedure. Once pregnant, a cow’s gestation period is
nine months, just like a human’s.
Once the cow gives birth, the real tragedy begins. Newborn
calves are typically taken away from their mothers within hours of birth. After
being torn from their calves, cows often bellow for hours or even days, pacing
and searching for them.
Sounds heartbreaking, right? Just watch how this nightmare
unfolds.
Thankfully, by withdrawing your support of this cruel
industry and switching to vegan alternatives, you and your family can help keep
cow families together.
