The animated film MILK illustrates in a simple way how conventional dairy cows are used.
What would happen if people were to be used in this way?
A story from artificial insemination, to the separate path of the babies, to milk and cheese production, to the death of the fattened boys and finally: the slaughter of the exhausted mother.
