   Stop to the propaganda of the dairy lobby! November 5 is declared " day of milk to the pause" by the dairy lobby, that aims thus to promote his/her/its products. It constitutes a shape of propaganda by the children. In answer, the collective LausAnimaliste lausannois will prepare various distributions of flyers to denounce the dairy industry.
 

Every year of the millions of francs for milk Every year, the Confederation spends the hundreds of millions of Swiss francs to help the dairy market. For example in 2008, she/it dedicated 350 millions of the money of the contribuable.1 there And there are two weeks, the federal Council decided to unblock 28 millions besides to consolidate the sector. To it are added the direct bonuses that the breeders receive every year also and that calculate themselves also in millions. When l.on notes that 80,6% of helps go to the producers of meat-eggs-milk and only 1,9% to the fruits and vegetables and 3,8% to the producers of earth céréalespommes, one makes account of the aberration of the situation.2 easily Ethically unjustifiable to produce milk, a cow, like a woman must d.abord to have a small. She/it is inseminated therefore and every pregnancy lasts 9 months. Often the small veal separated of its mother a few days after the stake bottom, what procures anguish and disarray for the cow as much that for the small.
 

Some months after, the cow is inseminated again so that she gives birth to another veal and can continue thus to produce milk. She/it will be sent to the slaughterhouse by him " producer of milk" toward the age of 6 years, not being more profitable beyond, whereas she/it could live until the age of 20 years.
The cow has a luck on two to give birth to a male that, not producing any milk, won't be useful for dairy l.industrie: immediately gotten fat, immediately killed.
If it is a female, as she/it produces milk, she/it will live the same nightmare undoubtedly that his/her/its mother. But if his/her/its growth is not fast, if it is sterile, if it is not productive enough, or merely if there are already too many females, it will become meat more quickly than foreseen.
Otherwise, the cows have been selected genetically since decades in the goal to create them " races to milk", by a practice that would be qualified d.eugénisme if she/it was applied to the humans. They can aujourd.hui to produce between 6000 and 12 000 liters of milk per year, or 20 - 40 liters per day; c.est 10 times more that their ancestor in the years 1950.
 

The treatment reserved to the dairy cows is incompatible with the animal dignity foreseen by the federal law on the protection of the animals. Why is he/it tolerated again? 1 http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/fr/index/themen/07/03/blank/data/01/05.html 2 http://dbloud.free.fr/OFSP.htm environmental Disaster In 2006, the FAO (organization of the Nations united for l.alimentation and l.agriculture) published the numbers showing that the world production of meat is responsible for 18% of gases to greenhouse effect anthropiques.
Two specialist scientists of l.environnement of the World Bank come of recalculer and to correct these numbers for the Worldwatch Institute (institute of world forecasting): the FAO "omitted" some points, underestimated d.autres of it and assigned some broadcasts incorrectly.
After correction of these mistakes and adjustment to the present numbers of animal production (that continued to increase in the world between 2006 and 2009), the scientists established that the production of livestock and his/her/its by-products contributed for at least (!) 51% of l.ensemble of gases to effect of serre.3 instead of the 7516 millions of tons of equivalents-CO2 calculated by the FAO, livestock and his/her/its sousproduits generate 32 564 millions of tons of equivalents-CO2 per year.
It means that the abolition of meat and dairy products would have more beneficial effects on the climate that the total interdiction of all cars and all planes and the adoption by every person of the planet of sources alternative d.énergie.
Let's stop subsidizing the aberration! Seen what precedes, we ask for the immediate stop of helps to raising, the reconversion of all hard-working and hard-working of this sector, and the abolition of the consumption of products of animal origin.
 

Otherwise, resources freed by the cessation of helps to raising could be used to encourage some activities rich in jobs, answering real needs and in conformity with a lasting development diagram: · encouragement of the culture methods limiting the use of water, of pesticides, and other inputs to harmful secondary effects; · activities bound to the preservation of the natural spaces; · development of the jobs of help to people (children, aged and handicapped people); · measures incitatives intended to encourage the construction/rénovation of lodgings and other less gluttonous buildings in energy; · helps towards the development of the collective transportation; · etc. Contact: LausAnimaliste, www.lausanimaliste.org Anushavan Sarukhanyan, a.sarukhanyan(at)gmail.com, 076 710 15 41 3 http://www.worldwatch.org/node/6294,
