Humane treatment of milk cows?

We saw a short movie (with Mary Tyler Moore) the other day... about the unethical treatment of chickens (mostly for eggs), pigs for ham products and baby cows for veal... all very sad and maddening that "we" could treat animals so cruely in our country. My question - is there anything unethical in the way milk cows are handled? I know you can buy organic milk - but that doesn't necessarily mean the cows are treated well.. just means that they are fed organic food.... THANKS! :-)



I think it's pretty cruel to give cows so much hormones that it has their utters swollen to enourmous sizes (that has to be painful) just so the companies can get more milk on the market. Then that milk is tainted with hormones and delivered to your local grocer for you to purchase and feed to your children and families. I'm sure there are plenty of things they do to cows in the name of American nutrition. Disgusting!
