Game Muggia the awareness campaign of Isa MujaVeg in collaboration with Editions AgireOra. Two issues affected by traffic posters put up along the streets of Muggia: the suffering that lies behind the production of milk and dairy products and the one linked to egg products.
LATTE
Cows produce milk at the birth of the calf. In most cases the calf is removed from the mother or measures are taken to what the calf does not milk foods produced for him by his mother.
In the picture you can see, for example, a calf with the halter antisucchio. Such a device is fixed to the nose of calves in such a way that any attempt to suck milk from the mother (as every child of any mammalian species would) is mechanically prevented. Other tethers are designed to cause pain in the mother so that this turn away your son / daughter who tries to eat. All this happens so that the milk can be designed to "consumers" human.
The calf in most cases is slaughtered after 6 months; the mother herself, after 3-4 years of exploitation, It is killed and butchered.
That's why consume milk and dairy products is no different from eating meat: in both cases, animals are killed for this production. Calves six months, cows a few years, after a life of suffering both physical and psychological.
EGGS
For each chick is female gave birth to become a “hen”, statistically born even a male chick, because you can not find out first if a fertilized egg is born a male or a female. The male chicks are killed immediately while they are still trying to figure out where their mom. They are often chopped alive and managed as waste or animal feed. The males are in fact a useless waste for the production of eggs. The females instead become as adults “laying hens”: They are imprisoned for 2 years under unbearable piled one on top of another, often in cages where the manure of the highest imprisoned chickens fall on those lower down recluse. All this as long as they can produce eggs for human consumption, then they end up at the slaughterhouse.
Then, it is impossible to consume eggs without killing the male chicks before and after the chickens.
No breeding is free from forms of violence (even the smallest, even biological ones, even those familiar). Milk and eggs can not be obtained without killing animals. E’ why those who become vegetarian to save the animals, often, passes to a choice vegan.
No animal born to be someone's property or be destined for something. The freedom and the right to life should be guaranteed to all regardless of species.
