Meet the Real Dairy Producers


Title:
Meet the Real Dairy Producers

Description:
Viva! investigations have revealed that most cows are kept in confined areas on dirt and cement floors; and the babies, sometimes only a few hours old, are taken from their mothers. Because cows produce significant amounts of milk for only ten months after they have birthed a calf, they are forced to continuously have babies in order to keep the milk flowing.

Cows - Their "Life"
Dairy cows, in my opinion, has it worse than cows killed for meat. Cows killed for meat actually do get some time outside, but they both get slaughtered anyways. (Meat cows are de-horned and castrated without anesthetics. Ow!) Dairy cows are exploited for their milk for years, and then all suffer they had giving milk just leads to slaughter.

Tainted Milk Might Start at Dairy Farms
ANCHOR: And on the subject of tainted milk, a resident living on a dairy farm in Hebei Province tells us that the contamination of milk may be happening at the farm, not just the factory. STORY: It may not be just big factories that have added chemicals to milk in order to increase profits. Mr. Ren is a farmer in Hebei Province. He didn't want us to use his first name. Ren says he's witnessed dairy farmers adding something to milk call "essence of protein." It's a cocktail of urea, sugar, starch and melamine mixed together. [Mr. Ren, Resident Mengniu Dairy Farm]: "We live very close to the milking hall. They just pile up the raw materials inside the hall. If they want to make more money, they will add some more chemicals. Maybe the factory will add their stuff as well. Normally milk farmers only add urea, sugar, and starch. But they are more cunning now, as they also add melamine." Mr. Ren witnessed this taking place on a farm contracted to supply fresh milk to Mengniu Dairy Company, one of China's biggest milk producers. Adding "essence of protein" can fool testing mechanisms that look for protein content in milk as a measure of its quality. "Essence of protein" can fool tests, but it's dangerous to for the consumer. Mr. Ren believes the problem is so widespread that the Chinese Communist Party is to blame. [Mr. Ren, Resident Mengniu Dairy Farm]: "Who is responsible for such a tragedy? The Chinese Communist Party should take the full responsibility. Contamination of 22 milk products relates to the whole milk industry in China." Hebei Province is China's largest dairy regions, with close to two-and-a-quarter million cows. People are losing confidence in the quality of fresh milk—and that could mean tough times ahead for farmers. Many are already selling their herds or killing their cows.
When Pigs Cry
Viva!'s When Pigs Cry shows Viva!'s investigation of pig farms in the country's #2 'pork' producing state, North Carolina. Sick and diseased pigs are common. On a small farm in Georgia, mother pigs are kept in gestation and farrowing crates - banging their heads and frustrated by their inability to walk or even turn around.
