About the Cover
Honey is a Jersey cow who came to the Humane Farming Association
several years ago from a sanctuary that closed. Honey lives at the
nation’s largest 5,000 acre Farm Animal Refuge, Suwanna Ranch, in
Glenn County, California. She and the other cows, mostly Holsteins,
usually stay in the second valley where she was photographed.
The fate of most cows has become worse than at any other time in
the history of the United States. The big industrial dairies, where cows
are treated like cogs in a machine, are buying up cows as fast as they
can and subjecting them to repeated painful injections of recombinant
Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), or as the manufacturer, Monsanto, calls
this substance, Posilac, to make them produce so much milk that they
soon sicken and die or are sold to a slaughterhouse.
The meat packers have trampled on the US Humane Slaughter Act which
Congress passed more than forty years ago to protect cattle, swine,
sheep, goats and horses from the overriding greed of the enormous
slaughter corporations.
