18 Images Big Dairy Doesn’t Want You to See 

18張  乳品業者不想讓你看到的真相

1. Cows produce milk for the same reason why humans do ―to nourish their young. 
牛會泌乳的原因和人類一樣， 都是為了自己的寶寶 




2. To keep the milk flowing, cows are artificially inseminated every year. 
為了讓牛乳源源不絕產出，母牛每年都會被人工授精 

3. Ten months later, their calves are born, and a strong bond instantly forms between them. 
十個月以後，小牛出生，母子享受天倫之樂 

4. But they won’t have much time together. 
 但他們能在一起的時間並不多 

5. Typically, after one to three days, their babies are taken away from them, which causes both cow and calf extreme distress. 
通常在一到三天後，小牛們就會從媽媽身邊被帶走， 給母子雙方都帶來極度的悲痛 

6. They will never see each other again. 
 他們永遠都不會再見到彼此

7. The male calves are usually sold to the veal industry. 
 小公牛通常會被賣到小牛肉產業 

8. There, they are kept in tiny crates to keep their flesh tender. 
在那裏，他們被關在小柵欄中，使肉質鮮嫩（如果有正常運動到就會長肌肉＝不好吃） 



9. They will be killed after just a few miserable months of life. 
小公牛在幾個月後會被屠宰，結束悲慘又短暫的生命



10. The female calves will likely follow in their mothers’ footsteps in the dairy industry. 
小母牛則會踏上她母親的後塵，繼續為乳品工業效力 



11. But first, they will be dehorned. 
但是一開始，他們會被去角 



12. Dehorning is a procedure in which cows have their horns removed by means of saws, sharp wires, hot irons, guillotine dehorners, or caustic chemicals. 
去角是把牛角切除的過程，過程中會使用鋸子，尖銳的金屬線，滾燙的鐵，斷角機或腐蝕性的化學物質



13. It is extremely painful. 
過程 非常痛苦 

14. The cows will spend the rest of their lives as milk machines, forced to produce 4.5 times what they normally would for their calf. 
這些乳牛這輩子就像產奶機器般的，被強迫產出正常狀況下4.5倍的奶水（！！） 



15. When not on a factory farm, cows can live to be 20 years old. 
當他們不是住在乳品農場時，這些牛可以活到20歲 



16. But cows used for milk are usually slaughtered for low-grade meat when they’re around 4 years old. 
但是被用於產奶的牛，通常在大約四歲的時候，就會被屠宰（低階牛肉） 



17. That means four years of repeated artificial insemination, udder infections, and having their calves traumatically torn from their side shortly after birth. 
這表示這四年內，她必須重複不斷的經歷人工授精，乳腺感染，以及新生的寶貝在出生不久後即被搶走的傷痛



18. When you buy dairy products, you’re supporting this cruel cycle. 
當您購買乳製品，就是在支持這些殘酷的循環
