Cows And The Earth: A Story Of Kinder Dairy Farming - Book Launch Photocall

Chrissie Hynde posed with these two lovely models in a photo shoot for the book Cows and the Earth: A Story of Kinder Dairy Farming.

The book by Ranchor Prime contains a preface by Chrissie, and details an experiment which ran a dairy farm without slaughtering animals or using fossil fuels.

Chrissie got to fulfill a lifelong dream and milk a cow.

“She said to me, ‘One of the things I’ve always wanted to do before I die is to milk a cow,’ so she spent the day hand-milking cows at the manor,” a source said. “She loved it, she spent the whole day there.”

Wonder if Chrissie also got bovine autographs before the day ended.

Hynde has spoken out against the dairy industry, saying it “turns cows into robots” and uses “grotesque and archaic machinery”.

“We need to reassess our relationship to the natural world,” the singer added.

If experiments like the one described in Cows and the Earth can be applied to more dairy farms, would you consume milk again knowing no animals would be slaughtered?

    Sorry, but the article does not explain how these farms have the space for the old cows and all the male calves. Could someone explain it to me?

  2. Ranchor Prime Says:

    In response to Vanilla Rose, the cows go on giving milk until they are well past 10 years old. The bulls work as oxen, replacing tractors and the need for fossil fuels, until they are around 12. The older animals retire and continue to live happy and valued lives to 15 or 20 years old when most of them die peacefully and cared for.
