3,400 passersby witness our anti-dairy protest at Culver’s!

💚🐄✊ Thank you to the four fierce activists who joined us for our “Dairy Is Scary” protest at Culver’s last Saturday!

Together, we showcased original vegan artwork, reached over 3,400 passersby, and urged people to ditch dairy and enjoy plant-based alternatives instead.

Several people honked in support, and the corridor leading to the South County Costco could hardly be busier; traffic was near nonstop, with over 30 cars driving past every single minute. People would often have to wait a minute or two before turning into the Culver’s parking lot because the cars kept coming!

Known for its heavy reliance on cheese, butter, and other dairy products, Culver’s is a Midwestern chain famous for their ButterBurgers and frozen custard. They claim their products are sourced from Wisconsin with “love.”

But the dairy industry is anything but loving. It relies upon the forced impregnation of mother cows. Once they give birth, their babies are kidnapped and their milk stolen for human consumption.

Mother cows often bellow for hours or even days once farmers kidnap their babies. The stress of chronic heartbreak, abuse, and exploitation leads most cows exploited for dairy to become “spent” after just 3-5 years, at which point farmers send them to slaughter.

Baby male cows are frequently tortured for veal, and baby girls endure their mother’s fate of repeat rape, heartbreak, and eventual murder. Every slice of cheese and glass of milk not only comes with literal puss and traces of fecal matter, but veal, blood, and torture.

Please, do your part to end the suffering of mother cows and their babies. Ditch dairy and enjoy plant-based milks, cheeses, and yogurts instead!
