This is Meghan at a #Canadian prison farm. Meghan will be abused. When prison programs involve raising and slaughtering Animals, and inmates must work in these roles, does it desensitize them and normalize harm? Rather than curbing violence, exacerbating it? #dairy

"Do prison farms and slaughterhouses prepare inmates for life on the outside, or are they unnecessary and even dangerous programs? After visiting two Ontario correctional facilities, I left without mixed feelings."

A Rare Glimpse Inside Canada's Prison Farms - We Animals

Low wages, high costs, hidden cruelties. Incarcerated people at Joyceville and Collins Bay penitentiaries in Ontario are paid under 46 cents an hour to work on federally funded prison farms.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia found that, on average, Cows spend 82 hours, or about 3.5 days, in the system before being slaughtered.

In some cases it is 7-10 days.

Suffering, nothing but suffering.

This is what the #dairy industry does to Mothers.

Sexually violated.
Calves stolen.
Heat stress.
Pink eye.
Lack of shade.
Lack of water.
Lameness.
Mastitis.

All this abuse before a violent death.

Tell me again how dairy is humane?

Severe heat stress in cows begins at a Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) of 90–99°F (32–37°C), a threshold repeatedly surpassed during California summers. Animals experiencing heat stress may exhibit increased respiratory rate, open-mouth panting, excessive drooling, and decreased feed intake. They may also display aggression as they compete for access to shaded areas or water.

A Holstein cow with marked epiphora (tearing) sticks her head through a fence at a dairy farm during a heatwave. A common cause of tearing is Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), also known as pink eye, caused by Moraxella bovis and sometimes M. bovoculi bacteria. The condition spreads through face flies and direct contact, with risk factors including UV light, dust, flies and close contact in herds. Central Valley, California, USA, 2025.

Victims of the Canadian #dairy industry on their way to their death.

Merely property for human use.

No kindness.

No morals.

No mercy.

💔 This calf was taken from their mother, so humans can bottle her milk.

It’s standard. It’s cruel. It’s unnecessary.

Choose plant-based dairy instead.

The Rangers face danger on a daily basis to protect the Park, the local communities, and the animals, including the endangered Mountain Gorillas. In the past 20 years, over 200 Rangers have lost their lives protecting the Park.

Pigs are amazing beings, highly intelligent & aware. Yet treated barbarically by humans that should know better than to inflict pain & suffering.
