Cruelty -- it's what's for dinner.
The average life expectancy of a normal cow is anywhere from 20 to 25 years. The average life expectancy of an American dairy cow is about four or five years.
When her milk production drops below the level set by the production quota of factory farms, she is retiredshipped to the slaughterhouse. Your milk cow, and her unborn calf, become the meat in your child’s hamburger at school — and your dinner.
Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.
— George Eliot
