A video release from an undercover investigation into the atrocities of the dairy industry, released by PETA.
“The mothers bellow out and mourn for their stolen infants, over and over again, but their suffering is ignored, and the process keeps repeating, until the mothers’ bodies are so worn down that they too are dragged off to the slaughterhouse to become hamburger. And none of this, in the dairy industry, is “cruelty.” It’s the very premise of the dairy industry. It’s what must happen for people to get dairy products, from anywhere. For humans to have cows’ milk, mothers and babies must be traumatized, babies must be slaughtered as babies, and mothers must be slaughtered when they’re no longer profitable.”
– Stephanie Ernst, excerpt from ARChange.org

Live up to your values and stop making excuses for supporting animal cruelty!
Watch this video to learn more about the impacts your decisions have on animals. Remember – you have a choice, the animals don’t.
The Animal Rights Collective and peta2 will be hosting the Animal Liberation Project at GMU from October 5-8, 2009. This series of events will include a visual display, a vegan cooking class, and a film screening. Through a series of visual display panels, the Animal Liberation Project looks back at how we justified human exploitation throughout history, and continue to use the same excuses to justify the exploitation of animals today.
ALP Schedule:
– Monday, 10/05: Easy Vegan Cooking Class. We will host a easy vegan cooking class featuring recipes from “PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook,” which teaches students how to make healthy and cruelty-free items with a few ingredients and a microwave. Check out some sample recipes.
– Tuesday, 10/06: The Animal Liberation Project will be on the JC North Plaza, 11 am – 7 pm.
– Wednesday, 10/07: Animal Liberation Project will be on the SUB I Main Quad, 11 am – 7 pm.
– Thursday, 10/08: The Animal Liberation Project will be on the JC North Plaza, 11 am – 7 pm. Then join us for a screening of “Liberation,” a longer version of the video clip featured above – 8 pm, SUB II Room 4.

In August 2009, a Compassion Over Killing investigator worked inside an egg factory farm in Minnesota owned by Michael Foods, one of the nation’s largest egg producers. While employed there, the investigator used a hidden camera to document horrific abuses including:
- Hens immobilized in the wires of their cages, unable to access food or water
- Decomposing and “mummified” corpses left in cages with live birds
- A Michael Foods employee decapitating a hen
- Birds suffering from overcrowding, severe feather loss, and untreated injuries.
Minnesota-based Michael Foods supplies eggs to several national restaurant chains, including Dunkin’ Donuts. Compassion Over Killing has reached out to Dunkin Donuts numerous times to inquire about the treatment of hens in its supply chain and to encourage the company to make meaningful changes for hens–and consumers–by making vegan donuts.
Dunkin’ Donuts is the world’s largest coffee and baked goods chain serving more than 3 million customers daily. There are an estimated 6,400 stores in the U.S. alone, offering more than 52 varieties of donuts–and every single donut served contains both egg and dairy products from animals forced to endure miserable conditions on farms.
Switching to vegan donuts is easy and cruelty-free. Not only will items be healthier for consumers because they will not contain cholesterol and have less fat, they will also create less suffering for animals. Many other companies such as Morningstar Farms, Lightlife Foods, and Boca have addressed this issue and have promised to phase out egg and dairy ingredients from their products. Your voice as a consumer speaks volumes and determines the products that companies supply, please take a few minutes today to use your voice for the animals.
Please share your concerns, letting the company know you want it to stop using eggs and dairy in its donuts and offer vegan menu items to meet the growing demand for healthier and more compassionate foods:
