The Drink of Death

The milk cows produce for their young ones is snatched so that humans can get their nutrition. Instead, the calves are fed cattle blood. 

Cows are artificially inseminated, a procedure full of pain and trauma for the cow. 

Life span of a cow is reduced considerably from about 20 years to 5 years. Eventually when they stop lactating, they’re slaughtered for meat.

The Syrup of Suffering

Billions of bees are tortured and exploited, so that humans can consume their honey.

Bees are put in artificial colonies, they’re provided sugar water instead of food, so that the honey produced is sweeter. 

The queen bee’s wings are chopped off, or at times she is killed to increase productivity and to ensure that the other bees don’t leave the hive. 

Alternatives – Brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, sorghum syrup, maple syrup, bee free honey
