SHE IS SO SAD(istic): Australian dairy farmer posts tearful video about having to shut down farm
JOEY CARBSTRONG: 'What I found interesting is that she considered herself a cow person. Which is really, really bizarre seeing as all those cows go to the slaughterhouse.'
BEN HILL: ‘A vegan activist has told a ‘heartbroken’ dairy farmer crying about her family having to give up their farm that she should ‘get another job’. Casey Treloar, 26, shared an emotional video revealing her sadness at her family having to give up the farm they had owned for 40 years in Flerieu Peninsula, South Australia.
In response, vegan Joey Carbstrong, 32, posted a video to YouTube telling Ms Treloar and her family to deal with what he claimed was a decreasing demand for dairy products, saying the industry was an ‘injustice’. ‘What I found interesting is that she considered herself a cow person. Which is really, really bizarre seeing as all those cows go to the slaughterhouse, the bobby (newborn) calves are all killed, they’re all taken away from their mothers, it’s a horrifically cruel and abusive industry,’ Mr Carbstrong said…
Mr Carbstrong is originally from Adelaide but now lives in London, where there is a ‘big vegan movement’ he told Daily Mail Australia. He said he sympathises with Ms Treloar’s plight, but believed it paled in comparison to that of animals on dairy farms. ‘I do think that there are victims who are suffering more than dairy farmers, the cows and calves being taken to the slaughterhouse,’ he said… ‘Dairy is cruel and outdated. I do sympathise with her, but I also look at it from the animal’s perspective.’
Mr Carbstrong said consumers were dictating to dairy producers that they no longer wanted their products, and that farmers would be have to adapt. He disputed being labelled as a ‘militant’, arguing it better described the actions of dairy farmers. ‘We’re just trying to liberate animals from suffering. I think it’s more militant what dairy farmers are doing,’ he said’. SOURCE…
