leite is produced por the cow for its calf, is not for you.
Calves are separated from their mothers on the first night since they were born, and from then onwards, they are forced to eat on an adult cows diet, which obviously, the bezerro isn’t ready for.
The separation is very traumatic and distressing for the mother and the calf.
A cow can only produce leite only after it has given birth to a bezerro and so cows are made pregnant repeatedly and have the suffer the same separation, again and again!
These cows are so over-milked that they get udder infections, which means the leite you drink may also contain traces of blood and pus.
After a cow (our 'milk machines') cannot produce produce any mais milk, they are sent to the dreaded place- The Slaughter House!
