vegans need to get and support political actions. Reposted from @vegan_batgirl (@get_regrann) - The headlines are right in that dairies are shutting down, but they are wrong in making you assume that this means we are saving cows. We aren't. Because our taxes bail them out of their losses. The small farm goes bankrupt, the mega dairy absorbs their production and also gets rewarded with more Bailout money for them vs spread to the dairies that go bankrupt. Please. This is important. We aren't solving saving animals thru our veganism. As hard as that is to swallow...we have to and we have to understand this food system is rigged and has been since 1933. Dairy production increased 2017 to 2018 and 2019 and is increasing 2020. This is the USDA numbers. Production increasing. What industry would increase production after years of losses? One that plays the system. AS AN ACTIVIST YOU MUST FOLLOW THE USDA PRODUCTION LIKE A BIBLE. THIS TELLS US IF WE ARE SAVING ANIMALS. THEIR LOSSES ARE BECAUSE OUR VEGANISM AND PLANT BASED OPTIONS STEALING THEIR MARKET SHARE... BUT THE ANIMALS NEVER GET TO SEE THIS BECAUSE OUR TAXES ARE USED AS A SAFETY NET. We have Legislation that needs your support to fight this. It goes to direct our taxes at transitioning these at risk farms to plant based farms before the mega farm takes the Bailout.

Credit to @rowdygirlsanctuary : We never ate our own cows. A couple years before I went vegan I questioned Tommy all the time about various aspects of the ranching business. Year after year it became increasingly more difficult for me to participate. One such conversation we had revolves around the fact that we never ate our own cows. It made no sense to me that we bought our “humanely raised beef” from the market when we had our own grass fed, “humanely raised” cows at the ranch. One day I pressured him until he answered me, and I was shocked by his response—“I can’t eat my own cows because I KNOW THEM”. That is really messed up when you think about it. So, I pushed my husband at the time to pick one of our cows to be slaughtered! In my pre-vegan mind, I was trying everything I could to rationalize the ranching business. I was trying to find a way to redeem myself of participating in this act of unnecessary violence towards Gods docile creatures. Tommy was infuriated at the time! He didn’t want to choose, but I forced him to do so by saying that “if I was going to be in this business with him that we were going to start slaughtering our own animals!” Tommy finally chose Lucky, Rowdy Girls first born. Lucky has a really bad leg because he hurt it when he escaped the red trailer back in February of 2014. Then he got lucky again because I went vegan in October of 2014. The more I pushed the envelope the crazier i became. Falling in love with the cows has been the greatest blessing in my life. Loving them has healed my broken soul. We are all broken by family traditions, culture, religion, etc. We come into this world a blank slate. We are taught normalized violence. It’s time to teach normalized “nonviolence”!! There will be no peace on earth until we get animals off the menu, off our backs, off our feet, and out of the labs, circuses, rodeos, and aquariums. #rowdygirlsanctuary #txisgoingvegan #rowdygirl #rancheradvocacyprogram #rancher #cowboy #rodeo #cowgirl #speciesism #cowspiracy #mercyforanimals #humanemeat #humanemyth #slaughter #vivisection #circus #leather #grassfed #ilovecows #cowsofinstagram #aquarium #seaworld https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRecMMgItx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17cm4nbj0t2pp
