The Sorrowful Life of a Dairy Cow offers an unflinching and emotionally resonant glimpse into the life of a being many take for granted—an animal whose existence is tightly controlled and largely invisible to consumers. This book follows the journey of a dairy cow from birth to slaughter, laying bare the often-overlooked reality behind milk production.
From forced separations and repeated pregnancies to the relentless rhythm of mechanical milking and the heartbreak of maternal loss, this narrative explores each stage of a cow's life with clarity and compassion. The story culminates in the stark end of life within the meat industry, shedding light on the routine cruelty embedded in modern dairy practices.
Written in a deeply human tone yet grounded in facts, this book invites readers to reflect on the moral implications of dairy consumption and the voiceless lives it affects. A powerful read for anyone who seeks to understand where their milk comes from—and at what cost.
