Just how Peaceful is your yogurt? How about your ice cream cone? Perhaps you like a slice of cheese? These things seem simple and Peaceful enough. No animal was killed to produce them - right? Perhaps not! Take a good look at these videos and give your dairy products some serious thought.
It is important to note that not all dairies function as these shown here do. But, it is the responsibility of every dairy consumer to know where their dairy products have come from, how the dairies they buy from work, how the animals are treated, and so on. You are what you eat! When we knowingly participate in the cruelty, violence, mistreatment, and death of another, it becomes our Karma. How do your dairy choices lend themselves to the creation of your Karma?
These videos may be difficult to watch, but we all need to know the Truth of the choices we make in Life.

As you saw if you watched the seriously inappropriately titled video above, calves are very much fun-loving, affectionate beings of Life. They are intelligent creatures who deserve far better than the treatment the dairy industry commonly showers them with. As those of us at The New Gaea Foundation can attest to, all animals are people, too. They just aren't human. We have had many interactions with a multitude of different forms of Life. They all have thoughts, feelings, ways of communicating and interacting.
It's time to let go of the old "top of the food chain" and "God-given dominion over animals" paradigms and embrace the Truth of Life. Humans may have once been intended to be stewards of our non-human brothers and sisters (although the Great Mother/Universe does not concur with this idea), but we were never intended to subject them to our will or our mistreatment. It is no wonder that our human world cannot find Peace. Our Karma would dictate otherwise!
Check your dairy products out! Don't be a part of this continuing Karmic saga!
