I eat organic and I am not involved in factory farms. I really despise factory farms and when you learn about them they're super messed up. I wish factory farms didn't ever exist and that we just did normal farming like we used to.

Wouldn't vegan/vegetarian sites be a bit bias on this subject? Also I thought cows *had* to be milked and if they don't get milked they die. PETA doesn't milk their cows and they always die. Just asking by the way. Be sure to tell me if I'm wrong.

The problem it is the exploitation of the cows, and in the little if not absent respect for these animals (for many animals).
"I thought cows *had* to be milked and if they don't get milked they die", I don't think that it is true, and I don't support PETA.

Is a vegan! Thank you for making! Also, I think drinking milk from another species post infancy is disgusting!

**This, by the way, is coming from a real farmer**
Not trying to start a fight....
Calves have to drink milk from mom (colostrum). Colostrum helps the calf's immune system. Cows (sometimes) will reject their own calves and leave them (seen it happen). As for the calves, they are not put into crates that are only a few inches wide. They can also lie down. Cows are also milked for 3 months before they are switched out with the other cows (most dairys have 2 herds of cows). As for the slaughter, most cows are slaughtered between the age of 5-18 years old. Again that varies from farm to farm.
Cows make 3-5 gallons of milk naturally.
I'm not saying that factory farming is right, and I'm not saying that I support factory farming. In the US, the USDA does not allow drugs milk. That was band in 2011. The milk is tested before it goes to the store (before it's processed).
As for mastitis, it's treated. The cow is then separted from the milking herd. She is later returned to the herd after 30 days.
The cows diet is also compelte, meaning that she gets all that she needs through eating.
As for "mating", the farm controls heifer to bull ratio. If the farm needs more bulls (which are turned into steers) then he/she can control that with the bull seamen. If the farm needs to replace some cows, then they want more heifers. The farm has to keep cows. With out having the land in "farm use" taxes would be 1,000,000 dollars for 600 acres of land total.
Not sure where you are, but this is the case in most US dairy farms.

Here in Italy the dairy farms work differently, I have written in the description that I saw one episode of the television show Italian "Report" , that showed and compared the reality of industrial establishments and biological establishments , and then was made a general discussion on how is expensive the intensive rearing for our planet

Conosco questo sito ;'3
Mi sono informata/documentata molto prima di cambiare alimentazione.
Si lo so che questa dieta è salutare, però ho deciso di farmi seguire lo stesso perché così sono certa di non assumere troppo ferro/proteine/vitamene , è importante che sia una sorta di equilibrio.

Tranquillo, leggo sempre le etichette di quello che compro e inoltre questa mattina mia madre ha fatto dei croissant con sopra un po' di zucchero di canna e ripieni col la marmellata di albicocche bio (senza zucchero), quindi sarò apposto a colazione/merenda ;'D

Si beh mangiare un po' di zucchero non fa male, è la quantità/qualità di quello che mangiamo che nuoce e può creare dei problemi a lungo andare...

E la cosa peggiore è che lo zucchero lo mettono ovunque come il latte...

Si è vero , infatti secondo me tu dovresti leggere le etichette non perché sei ossessionato dai grassi o dagli zuccheri, ma solo per vedere esattamente che cosa mangi.
Se poi riesci a fare dei dolci a casa tua con dei prodotti "freschi" è meglio, io per esempio mi faccio la "Nutella" vegana con il latte di soia, ma volendo si può fare anche con il latte di origine animale o con un altro tipo di latte vegetale.
Metto il fruttosio al posto dello zucchero e so per certo che cosa c'è dentro perché la faccio io.
Noi abbiamo a casa ogni tutti e 3 i tipi: raffinato, canna e fruttosio.
Ma i miei ormai usano principalmente quello di canna o il fruttosio , mio padre per esempio nel caffè mette un po' di miele che è comunque un dolcificante naturale ed è sempre meglio dello zucchero raffinato.

While I agree with your message, this should not have been a stamp. Stamps should be short and to the point, so that the message is absorbed in a few seconds, not a few minutes. Nobody wants to--and few will--wait for a stamp that has practically a fucking essay written on it to circle back round so that they can see the whole thing.

Is true the stamp is long, but I like make the stamps and they can be included in the ID
However, those who wish may make any kind of work inspired by what is written

You can also add that some cows brought to the slaughterhouse are pregnant, some claves are also good to be born and they'll just be taken out of the belly of their dead mother.

This thing I did not know yet.
A few days ago I learned that the male calves of buffaloes (for the buffalo mozzarella) are abandoned and they will die of hunger.
Because there is not much market for buffalo meat...

Say what you want I guess but i work on a dairy farm. Nothing like this happens. Only thing is that they do artificially inseminate the females BECAUSE bulls are too dangerous to own. And the bull can easily hurt any workers or the cow herself.
The babies are left with the mother but removed and put in a separate barn. But we take the cows milk and feed it to the babies and they grow up in a HUGE pasture (I still haven't covered most of the area yet in my few years) and they have as much room as they possibly need. Or want. Although they tend to stay in groups and not move much anyway. I haven't seen happier cows in my entire life. And I've seen a LOT of cows. We treat ours with respect and a kind heart. We name them for gods sake. We can tell you the personality of each and every cow and what they like and don't like. And when they get old they don't go anywhere. They stay at the farm to live out their lives. So yes some farms are hurtful and unkind. But not every damn one and it sucks people make this assumption.
So you know what it's not a good idea to "research" day and night if you haven't been to one yourself. You can read up any truth and any lies but it won't be justified until you see it in person. =\ go visit a huge factory farm where they don't care and then visit our huge farm and tell us every place is the same....

You did not read well the description or maybe I have not explained well.
This stamp shows what happens in factory farms and it is the reality.
In the organic farms there is the bull, and cows are made pregnant as in nature.
The mount of the cow may take place in two ways: by natural mating, or by extraction of the seed from the male which may be present on the farm or not.
In the factory farms you buy the sperm of bulls, in the Report episode is showed a catalog with the bulls and their "daughters".
The agricultural company are companies, and the majority of owners do not keep an animal that does not produce.
Why they aren't unable to have a balance between the enter and exit.
Not worth spending the money for an animal that doesn't make them earn it.
Yours is an organic farm or is it just a farm, I repeat that the stamp is the reality of factory farming.
You know better than me, you work in this field, that not all companies intensive and biological are like your farm.
I happened to visit the agricultural companies with the school and when I was a child at the mountains.

The contents in the stamp and its description are very nice but there are a couple of things you should consider when making a stamp:
1: dA doesn't support large animated files too well so I had to keep refreshing the page because it would get stuck on one part of the animation for far too long, show the part after it too fast for me to read and then go directly to the part after it and then I had no idea what that part meant. I eventually got frustrated enough to download that animation and look through each part frame-by-frame to get the whole message.
2: That animation was WAY too long. The average animated stamp on here only has 3-5 parts. You were way over what the average person on dA would even glance at before discarding it completely as a possible thing to view.
3: The content of the message in the stamp was fine but most people on here that look at stamps about this kind of thing want something to sum up the whole situation dealt with in the stamp in just a few words and not that mini-novel you put there. For this particular stamp I'd suggest something like "Milk isn't as good for you as you think." and the next part could be "Factory farms are not the way to go." and then maybe a quick picture or two of the conditions that the cows are forced to live in and after that, it would loop back to the beginning. In the description, you could write the rest of what you wanted to put on the stamp.
I just want to help you here, okay? If you reply to this, I probably won't get back to you for a week since I'm going on vacation and my tablet is a pain to use for typing.

Thank you, the purpose of this stamp is informational only.
1. I can guarantee that this stamp weighs much less than it appears 50.8 kg, there are photographs, stamps and other digital works and no, that weigh a lot more.
For example, one of my photos "Chiave di violino" weighs 332 kb and one of my stamps "The Big Bang Theory" weighs 863 kb.
And at the moment of the download dA has not given me any problems regardng the weight or dimension of the file.
As I wrote you can get this information by numerous documents, does not matter if you lose a few frames, because you can understood in every case.
I understand that it can be frustrating, but at me happens that my pc conk out at the homepage of a dA users because are full of icon, stamp or test...(-.-")
2. The animation seems long because I put 5 seconds by each frame, so people can read it, my stamp "The Big Bang Theory" contains 390 frames in total, you have no idea how long it took me to get it! (>.<")
This stamp contains 38 frames in total, but the time to stop between one frame and the other makes it seem very long.
I know that there are many, but often the stamp with animated scenes of movies or cartoons have numerous forogrammi many more than those of this stamp.
3. It can also be, but I did not want sum up the stamp in a phrase, also because it is impossible, if I had done as you say, I would have to write everything in the description, (including the descpription)
And many people would have only stopped to read the phrase in the stamp, without reading the description, and they would have written a lot of incorrect comments.
People often do not click the link in the description...
Thanks for the help, but I thought it carefully before proceeding to the reallizzazione stamp.
Of course it would be great if someone wanted to make a drawing, a picture or any job.
In this way, the message would be perhaps more immediate and less "heavy" ;'3
