Cows Experience Joy, Have Personalities

It is stunning that despite the fact that 90% of dairy cows end up as hamburger, many vegetarians continue to eat dairy products thinking that they are not supporting a cruel and unnecessary industry.  In addition to the almost total population being sent to slaughter once their milking days are over, it is now becoming clear that cows have their own personalities (see this link for to a recent study in the Netherlands) and experience a variety of feelings, including joy (see the video below of cows going out to pasture after a long winter indoors).  For an in-depth look at why there is more suffering in a pound of cheese than in a pound of beef see this link: http://freefromharm.org/animal-cruelty-investigation/new-expose-shows-why-there-is-more-suffering-in-a-pound-of-cheese-than-a-pound-of-meat/
