Description

This stamp is for informational purposes only, does not express an opinion, but it shows the reality of factory farming for the production of milk.

So avoid saying: "Is not true" because it is not so, I invite everyone to inform themselves mainly through sources / neutral documents (programs TV, magazines) that show the reality, and then to go into in the animal rights sites, vegetarian sites, vegan sites or even speak with the nutritionists.

All mammals produce milk at a single condition feed the puppy. (as the humans)
It makes no difference whether it's a cow, a goat, a donkey, dog, cat, monkey...

All the animal milk we drink or eat as derived (cheese, butter) have the same mechanism as the basis.

That differences between the intensive farms and organic farms is only in reproduction that occurs naturally with the bull, and in the growth of the animal that is fed without the addition of: hormones, antibiotics or chemicals or of any kind in order to increase the growth.
Also on organic farms the calf will separate from the cow, and will follow two different roads according to their sex.
The duration of the life a cow in an organic farm and much longer, the cows can be up to 14 years (always less than in nature) but when the cow will stop producing milk will be sent to the slaughterhouse.

The title of my stamp is no coincidence that begins as Food factories because the animals are in any case treated as machines and not as living beings.

Many of you will think that I came to know this reality through an animal rights website, but it is not so.
I saw an Italian inquiry program called Report the title of the episode was "Carne per tutti" in English "Meat for all", which has showed and compared the reality of industrial establishments and biological establishments in many points of view: health / respect for animals, pollution derived from livestock (and other environmental problems), our health, and the relationship with the problem of world hunger.

As I mentioned in my previous stamp: "They are my friends" ilaaaria.deviantart.com/art/Th… believe that people become a vegetarian or better vegan only for an ethical issue is not correct, the factors are many and now more than ever we are becoming aware of how our habits are wrong.

But why should we decrease or better yet avoid all products of animal origin such as milk and their derivatives?
It 'unnatural drink the milk after a certain stage of life
Just look around to realize that we are the only mammal that continues to drink milk as adult, and you have to keep in mind that breast milk and cow's milk are very different from each other.

Drink breast milk is comprehensive but it can become dangerous after weaning
Breast milk is a complete food for the infant under 6 months of age but not for an adult, we lose all the positive effects of milk after 3 years of age because our body starts to miss the lactase (an enzyme that digests lactose) and rennin (an enzyme that digests the casein).
When you are lacking these two enzymes our body struggles to digest milk and this can lead to colitis, continuing to drink milk you can still keep a little rennin (but will always be a much lesser extent).
This is because breast milk in nature (there are only kind of milk) and you should only escusivamento forthe "primary" infant development.

How to replace it?
With the vegetable milk, in the world there are many varieties of this type of milk: almond, rice, soy, oats, coconut.

Why is it better to drink vegetable milk or eat vegetable dairy products?
The vegetable milk is preferable to that animal because it is highly digestible (without bad cholesterol or contains very small quantities of type vegetable)
The vegetable milk keep under control the molecule IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) that helps the cell proliferation.
For the children is important to take the breast milk (or the milk powder), but for adult, high levels of IGF-1 may lead to the onset of cancers: breast, prostate or colon (the food is closely related to the formation of tumors of the digestive system)

But what about osteoporosis?
Many studies in addition to having highlighted the link between milk and the increase of IGF-1 have also showed that the milk of animal origin doesn't prevents osteoporosis indeed favors the predisposition, and who consumes more these products suffers more than osteoporisi of those who do not consume.
This is because in addition to being rich in calcium (which strengthens bones) the animal milk is rich in animal protein and especially of sulfur, which within our body produces an acidic substance by changing the pH of the blood (the blood donator before the donation does not drink milk or eat dairy products), to bring under control the pH of the blood in our body recalls the calcium in the bone, this chemical effect is called "buffer".
So is wrong think that drinking milk or eating dairy products means taking calcium, because apparently the bones are more compact but in the end are more fragile.

High consumption of milk and dairy products and obesity
The animals milk, and all derivatives are high-calorie products contain between 20% to 90% fat and are a major cause of obesity.
The Global Fund to cancer research among the 10 recommendations of the citizens invites to limit the calorie-dense foods such as cheese (and other products: sugar, meat, eggs)
In this case limiting means eating 1 time a week, and 1 or 0, the step is very short.

These are not my personal considerations but are results from researches carried out in the medical / nutritional.
My nutritionist (which is omnivorous) over to tell me that it is good to limit or remove the consumption of milk and dairy told me: "Is better if you decided not to eat more milk and its derivatives." because they hurt, especially if taken in large doses frequently.
Any doctor, nutritionist, dietician will tell you when I wrote it.

I personally I'm ovo-vegetarian and I'm drinking / eating soy milk/cheese, rice cheese and almonds (I eat almonds at the breakfast)
The products I buy also contains: vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12

I'm apologize for my bad English, I hope to don't have made any grammatical error in the stamp and in the description. X'3

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.

ilaaaria In reply to GhostiKid [2018-04-14 11:10:07 +0000 UTC]

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.

**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

C'è anche scienzavegetariana se hai partiolari necessità o qualche dubbio che nessun vegano esperto sa come toglierti.
Ricorda che sono dottori volontari

Ma comunque chi fa una dieta vegana non ha bisogno di nessun nutrizionista dato che essa è completa e salutare al 100%

Ilaria, lo mettono dappertutto perchè le aziende prodruttrici devono vendere, loro pensano solo al profitto non alla salute e sapendo molto bene che lo zucchero crea dipendenza esse lo mettono dappertutto e spesso in quantità molto elevate.

bisogna straci attenti a leggere le etichette. Io adesso mangio solo zucchero di canna grezzo che almeno.

ilaaaria In reply to Mistikfantasy [2014-02-23 11:10:44 +0000 UTC]

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.

ItsProbablyMars [2013-08-11 14:32:56 +0000 UTC]

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....

ilaaaria In reply to ItsProbablyMars [2013-08-11 15:00:42 +0000 UTC]

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.

cinderburn [2013-08-11 00:49:33 +0000 UTC]

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
