Pig Blood Safer than Fresh Milk?

Translation

from Farm Wars

First they came for the farmers and their customers who barter in fresh, unpasteurized milk for their families, saying that it is unhealthy. Well folks, this is about to get much, much stranger. Now they are coming for the calves…

We are living in an upside-down world in which good is bad and bad is good. This is no more evident than in the fact that good, wholesome, fresh milk is said to be dangerous, while pasteurized milk with all of the beneficial qualities eradicated, is touted as healthy. This couldn’t be further from the truth. But now, this travesty is being taken one step further. Evidently, drinking fresh milk straight from the mom is supposed to be unhealthy for calves because it is unpasteurized.

Biosecurity. Calves are especially vulnerable to disease. Diseases such as Johne’s, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, Bovine Leukosis Virus, pasteurella, salmonella, E. coli and mycoplasma can be transmitted from cow to calf through unpastuerized milk. Biosecurity and disease prevention issues contribute greatly to the popularity and use of milk replacers. Merrick’s not only purchases pasteurized milk ingredients for making milk replacers, but we also include pasteurization as a key step in our manufacturing process.

So, instead of allowing calves to suckle naturally, Merricks recommends its milk replacer as an economical and safer alternative. However, it just so happens that Merricks uses pig blood to produce its pasteurized calf milk replacer.  Yes, you heard that right – pig blood plasma is being fed to most of our dairy calves, as Merricks is a leading supplier of dairy products for the feed industry.

How long will it be before allowing animals to suckle from their mothers naturally will be outlawed, and lab-created concoctions the only “approved” feeding solution? Think about it – unpasteurized milk not healthy for the animal babies that consume it naturally from their mothers, pig blood good. Just how twisted has our society become that we accept this? As for the calves? Why, let them eat pig blood. After all, that is the “healthy” alternative.

From Dd --- The actual fact is that the greedy dairy industry wants ALL of the milk to sell, and give as little as possible to the calf. To them the cow is just a milk machine and when she can no longer produce she is thrown slaughtered and eaten. Replacing half of mother's milk with pigs blood gives them more milk to sell. Endless greed...it's so disgusting.This is the "economics of ignorance" -- unlimited tamo-guna.
