Acharya Prashant explains the direct economic link between the dairy industry and the slaughter of cattle. He points out that the majority of cows and buffaloes used for milk production eventually end up as beef because maintaining them after they stop producing milk is not financially viable for farmers. He highlights that the ratio of elderly cows in shelters compared to those in production is extremely low, debunking the myth that most retired dairy animals live out their natural lives in peace. Most are instead subjected to slaughter for meat, leather, and chemical extraction. He further argues that the current price of milk is artificially low because it is subsidized by the eventual sale of the animal's body parts. If dairy owners were legally mandated to care for animals until their natural death, the cost of milk would skyrocket to cover the expenses of their old age. Therefore, consumers are able to purchase affordable milk only at the cost of the animal's life. Acharya Prashant concludes by urging people to reflect on the fact that the milk they consume is effectively tainted with the blood of these innocent, voiceless creatures.
