Alicia Silverstone On Organic Dairy Pitfalls
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Farming, Food & Drink.
Alicia Silverstone has blogged about the truth behind the dairy industry, even farms labeled “organic” and what it means to millions of dairy cows in the world.
Organic dairy requirements basically require the farmer comply with the following rules:
* All feed must be organic
* Animals must have unrestricted access to pasture
* No antibiotics or hormones are allowed, with the exception that sick animals must be treated as needed and removed from the herd
But, as Silverstone points out, organic does not necessarily mean animals are treated more humanely and ultimately every cow that becomes depleted of the ability to produce milk is sent to slaughter.
