Hello everyone, welcome to another video. I thought I'd make this video because I just saw this It's a video that a dairy farmer actually put up in Australia Really interesting and I've actually seen a few articles lately too which are looking at The number of dairy farmers who are quitting the industry and they seem to be a little bit worried by these new vegan alternatives coming out But let's just watch this video together and have a listen to watch this lady in Australia saying As many of you guys know dairy industries It's in a pretty pretty tough spot It's something that my dad's done his entire life. It's something that I've loved doing my entire life since I've been involved But it has come to a point where our family We've had to make the decision that it's it for us We're at a point where our average I guess how much we're getting paid for milk is about 38 cents a liter a year 38 cents a liter across the year and it's completely unsustainable we We can't really afford to keep going anymore. I guess we call ourselves cow people We do it because we love the cows and a lot of dairy farmers alike that and we're forever the optimist that the industry will get better For our family we've come to a point where we can't we can't do it anymore So that's a very sad dairy farmer there in Australia The price of dairy is too low for them to for it to be sustainable for them for their their family business there What I found interesting is she considered herself a cow person Which is a really really spasas seeing as all those cows go to the slaughterhouse The bobby calves are all killed and a fact should fraction of their lifespan. They're all taken away separated from their mothers It's a horrifically cruel and abusive industry Even if the dairy farmers don't see it that way it is for the animals and This is not a video to attack this lady, okay? It is nothing personal between vegan activists and dairy farmers Okay, we understand something we understand this lady here. She's indoctrinated into dairy farming I mean, it's been passed down traditionally. She said her father did it her father's father probably did it too Something she considers normal when she's providing a product for society But what's happening is demand is changing because we demand you release those animals and stop breeding them into existence to exploit them and It's time to move into plant based alternatives now We're not slowing down or letting up Dairy farmers are dropping off and I think they're going to continue to drop off because we are going to change Demand we're going to change the world. That's how activism works. We see an injustice The dairy industry, okay? We look at it from the victims perspective not the farmers although they are Victims of conditioning. They're not the true victims which are the animals We see the injustice and we speak up. We stand up and we expose it Okay, and that's what's happening and we have amazing vegan alternatives vegan magnums I've seen this article in the independent vegan Magnum Signals increasing problem for dairy industry says farmers now they're worried about these vegan alternatives to dairy cruelty-free better for the environment like what are you worried about why don't you just move? Industries you're gonna have to move industry sooner or later because dairy is gonna become obsolete now Do I have no compassion at all for this lady? No, of course I do like of course I have some compassion. She's upset You know look at her look at her. She's upset. I'll sympathise with her But I also sympathise with the animals that are bred into existence exploited killed kidnapped, you know murdered in slaughterhouses as well and I'm more inclined to sympathise with them more the thing is this dairy farmer here. She can get another job Those animals do not get another child. They do not get another life They'll be murdered turned into burgers and it's just an injustice Also like dairy products are destroying the environment and our resources the land use You know the amount of grain fed to these animals the amount of water consumption. It's like a thousand liters of water per liter of milk You know and people talk about almond milk doesn't even come close It'll be better for the environment as well and human health dairy We're not baby cows. We have to let go of the dairy milk. We stopped breastfeeding when we were a child Come on get off the tit Let's get off the saturated fat and cholesterol as well So what I recommend for dairy farmers to do is While they still can to transition their farms you can check out the vegan society they have helpful farmers who Animal farmers and want to transition to plant-based farming The demand is going to change with or without the consent of the farmers It doesn't matter what the dairy farmers want. It's what the consumer wants We demand the products that get produced farming dairy farming is just a symptom the cause is non-veganism Okay, so the rise of veganism means the full of the dairy industry So yeah, like this isn't a video to go I hate her or I hate dairy farmers who are indoctrinated into this system where they think using animals is fine and moral when okay I understand a psychology there I have been less sympathetic in the past in some of my videos some of my more you know Controversial things I've said about dairy farmers when they've been upset about the dairy industry going down This isn't one of those videos. It's nothing personal between me and dairy farmers or any vegan activists I it shouldn't be we shouldn't make this personal. We want them to let the animals be That's what we want and we're gonna do that with or without The dairy farmers coming along for it. We're gonna change demand and we're going to expose this cruel and abusive industry until it is no longer now I want to make a little little shout out to project calf now project calf have released a map Now this isn't the only map that's been released recently the guys at Aussie farms released a big map Exposing where all the farms were in Australia. There's another one happened in the UK called project calf and Exposed the locations of about 9,000 dairy farms 9,000 dairy farms so the public know where these places are and if you want to bring your camera down there You know take bring your zoom lens and just zoom in on those cars being taken away from their mothers How about a truck a load of these animals being sent off to the slaughterhouse and you know You can this is you know free for us to do I think it's important that because these places rely on secrecy they rely on their practices being kept secret They like to perpetuate this humane dairy fairy tale and that's all coming to the light now, okay? So yeah vegan activists aren't slowing down Obviously I have sympathy for farmers who feel like this is part of who they are but don't Identify with your job to the point where it like makes you upset Just move into more ethical alternatives plant-based alternatives dairy free products, you know We need farmers that we don't need farmers who abuse and exploit Sentient animals that's all gonna be a thing of the past So what I recommend you do is use the hashtag February to help expose the dairy industry and help leave the dairy industry as a dark part of history and Propel forward the vegan alternatives and let's create a more peaceful compassionate world for everyone to live Peace, I guess we call ourselves cow people we do it because we love the cows and a lot of dairy farmers are like that and Dairy is Try almond milk hemp milk soy milk flax milk rice milk Brazil nut milk macadamia milk cashew milk any milk But dairy milk
