World Milk Day is celebrated globally to acknowledge the nutritional value of milk, but animal rights group PETA is advocating for a name change to "World Bovine Mammary Secretion Day." They argue this better represents the true nature of milk production, highlighting the ethical issues surrounding the dairy industry, including the separation of calves from their mothers shortly after birth, as well as environmental concerns related to dairy farming. PETA emphasizes that milk is intended for calves, not humans, and calls out the practices that undermine maternal bonds in cows.
"What you call a 'global food' is really a food intended for baby cows and bulls only."
"Cows' secretions aren't meant for humans any more than those of dogs or cockroaches are... calves are denied nutrients and the maternal bond."
