None of you pay enough as it stands.

Because the meat and dairy industry rely on child and immigrant labor, carnists and omnivores benefit from the abuse of these children regardless of who the President is.

If Trump removes the child laborers from these industries, market demand will force a price increase. Go vegan for the children.

Lmao, the industrail dairy farm near me is primarilu staffed by legal immigrants and is located in the middle of nowhere but I know for a fact there are no children working there. 

A lot of the factory hog/beef/chicken slaughter houses here operate the same way using migrant labor but the margin of "undocumented/illegal" is very slim here. Im not sayin the labor and wages are fair or job safety and employee health is great but you flat out lie when you say there is child labor being used in any of these businesses within 250mi of me. 

The dairy industry is government subsidized and would have went non existent in the early to mid 1980's without the US government stepping in and creating programs like the old government cheese give aways back then.  Hell there are bunkers full of cheese just chillin in Missouri as a result. 

Milk cows die if they dont get milked.... why waste the milk and the cow?

Sounds like you have a problem with the wired article and that you disagree with it’s findings based on anecdotal evidence, at the very best.

Thank goodness your local dairy farmers have you to inspect their labor practices freelance.

Everyone laughs at the suffering of animals. And you’re no different. The dairy cow needs to be perpetually raped and impregnated, only to have its child prevented from drinking the milk of its mother.

Go vegan, problem solved.

Unfortunately, the prices of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc will also skyrocket when there's no migrants to harvest them.

But the article is about meat and dairy. Go vegan.
