my new adopted baby

I want you to meet Fawny.  He is my new baby.  Well part of him is mine.  There are quite a few of us in the animal welfare and Ban live export groups I am in on Facebook who wanted to save the life of Bobby Calf.  He is a Jersey, isn't he gorgeous!!  We do as much work as we can in animal welfare and working towards the banning of live exports and factory farming.

  Other people put in money to buy and save Bobby Calves too.  Some of us decided to do it too.

We only had to put in a few dollars each and he now lives with a wonderful guy, an Animal Rights/Welfare Lawyer in Queensland.

I wish we all could  take it in turns having Fawny each weekend, and I certainly wish we could save them all

I hope we can buy some more calves soon.

The male calves are the "waste product" of the Dairy Industry.  The cows are kept in a constant state of pregnancy so they will produce milk.

They are like humans they only have milk when they have a baby.   It's not natural for them to constantly produce milk.   Many are slaughtered after 5 years or less of misery for meat as they are spent as breeders. Not for human meat but are churned up for pet food.

The male calves are not even fed, treated badly and slaughtered within 5 days.  This is all so humans can drink milk.   So if you MUST drink milk buy it from a local organic farmer, they supply to the major supermarkets and to your local deli and supermarkets too.  The more you support the cheap supermarket brand milk, and all the major brands too, the more your are supporting this industry.   I know groceries are expensive but isn't it better to buy less and buy better quality and local and maybe not buy a few of the products you might not really need.

I just have to add, can't help myself, all dairy product industry contribute to this, icecream, yoghurt makers you name it but Cadbury are one of the worst.  Think about that with your next "glass and a half"

Some calves are kept aside and put in wooden crates without seeing the light of day even once for months.  They sleep and live in their own excrement and this is done for the product we know as veal.   keeping them in the dark and almost starving them keeps their meat white so people can enjoy their veal.  The female calves of course only have a life of misery to look forward to the same as their mothers,

700 000 Bobby Calves are slaughtered each year in Australia.  Imagine how many in the world are slaughtered as waste each year or kept for veal in those conditions.  This is all for us humans to drink milk which is not even good for us.  It is purely meant for baby cows so they can gain about 250kgs in one year or more

maybe you could consider other alternatives.  I drink rice milk now and I love it, it has a fab flavour and also oat milk too is very nice.  Soy is very strong but there are so many other choices and please don't eat veal.

Sending you hugs Fawny I feel so good you are part of my family kiss kiss
