Draw My Life: Cow Edition

A cows natural lifespan is about 20 years, but cows used by the dairy industry are typically killed after about five years because their bodies wear out from constantly being pregnant or lactating. A dairyindustry study found that by the time they are killed, nearly 50 percent of cows are lame because of standing on concrete flooring and filth in intensive confinement. Cows bodies are often turned into soup, food for dogs and cats, or ground beef because they are too spent to be used for anything else.
