Please Fill Out Important Deer Survey | | |
|
Attorneys for Animals (AFA) is reporting that a council representing governments in 7 Southeast Michigan counties is asking for citizens' perspectives on deer in Southeast Michigan. AFA and VM have concerns that the survey assumes that deer are a problem and that residents only have negative interactions with them. The survey will only take a few minutes to fill out. Thank you! | |

The Bond Between a Mother and Child | |
|
There is no stronger bond than the bond between a mother and her child. This is not only true for humans but animals as well. Cows care for, nurture, protect, and nourish their young. In the dairy industry, calves are taken from their mother the day they are born. Her milk becomes cheese on pizza, ice cream, and other dairy products. Producing goat milk is a similar process. Dairy cows, usually Holsteins, are continually reimpregnated and have been selectively bred to produce an enormous and unnatural amount of milk. Calves live short and lonely lives, as seen in the photo below. Farms usually purchase calves from multiple dairies and separate them to reduce the chance of spreading disease. The dairy industry in Michigan is also a leading cause of ground and water pollution and carbon emissions. Dairy cheese and ice cream are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Kale, broccoli, chickpeas, fortified plant milks, and many other foods are high in calcium.

One of the most sustainable food choices we can make, besides eating plant-based, is eating food that is grown locally. Thankfully, Michigan offers an abundance of locally grown foods year-round! Check out this guide of plant-based recipes featuring the most delicious locally grown foods of each season.
