I love that you did this. I've posted it on my blog, too. And I love the comments I've read so far from my readers. Well done.

I want you to know that your words about maternal instincts and female exploitation have deeply inspired me to return to a vegan diet. I just had my 3rd baby six weeks ago and as I listened to you say, "all the mother cow wants is her baby," I hugged my own baby tight and for once it finally hit me how inherently cruel the dairy industry is. I cannot even fathom having had my baby taken away from me after he was born, and I am sure I would have physically attacked anyone who tried to take my baby from me!
The differences between factory farms and organic dairy farms all of a sudden seem very small when I take the mother cow's perspective. Whether my baby was taken away within hours or days after his birth, it would be excruciating. The next time I feel the urge to buy some organic cheese or yogurt, I will think about the mother and baby who were separated in order for humans to take the mother's milk.
Thank you so much for the work that you do - it really does make a difference!
