The closing scene is amazing. The baby cow that was separated from his mother been forced back to its tiny cruel isolated hutches. Where are people's hearts?

[@ucdcrush]

It's about time.

I can't eat most cheese or drink milk. What ever they do to the cows nowadays has changed it.

[@andrenewcomb3708]

If they're such nice guys, why did they run Max Yasgur out?

[@housingcrisis5857]

I ONLY buy organic clean milk for price of $2.50/Gallon. I usually buy 5 at a time. MOST of the time milk price is too high so I seek calcium in other ways. Too poor and I have to stick to my $100/Month budget for groceries.

This is like trying to save the lynching industry...
Will our species ever evolve...as a whole?

[@rhondagentry2170]

So are they feeding the cows pesticide or herbicide laden feed? That would be my concern.

[@cameronwhitaker3864]

If you like cheese, then the diary industry needs support.

[@southernflavamaker]

I can make due without all dairy produce...

[@gbarc4264]

Cow milk is for baby cows not humans

[@cameronwhitaker3864]

An average cow makes more milk than the a calf needs. It's a fair trade.

[@Jason49877]

Yeah I’ll never drink milk … 😣

[@cameronwhitaker3864]

As you know, cheese comes from milk. You like cheese then the diary industry needs support.
