It’s illegal? As someone who lives in the Central Valley and frequently drives past dairies I see dead cows placed in the side of the road all the time. There’s a big semi truck that drives around and picks them up to take them who knows where. Been stuck behind this truck many times on the freeway. The truck has a white open top type container and you can see the cow legs sticking out on top. The smell is awful. Idk what the do with the bodies but I can tell you this is common practice at nearly all the dairies do it. And I’ve always wondered what if one of these cows died from an infectious disease and another animal chows down on it starting a whole chain reaction lol

You have to do something with the dead ones, not feasible

Dairy cows don't die of infectious disease here.

Foot and mouth is the only infectious disease that kills very many
at all and nothing that eats dead cows are affected by that and we
dont have it in the country anyway

Been happening since I was a kid, neverthought it was harmful
Just a farmers way of bringing out the dead
Cows do die, fall in holes, creeks, old age

"Our" Media and Major parties are run by lobbyists
Stop saying inflation when you mean record breaking corporate profits.

Lobbyists write the laws, parliament sells the laws,
paid lucrative commissions for passing their laws.
That’s the modern legislative business of parliament.

When we talk about paying-off politicians in third-world
countries we call it bribery.
However, when we undertake the same process in parliament.
we call it lobbying.

Do they still put that blue-colored penicillin in the milk vats?
I stayed at a dairy farm once and they did this.

Gough Whitlam when Joe Riordan lost the seat of Philip in Sydney’s
eastern suburbs. “Comrade, comrade, how negligent of you. To lose a
seat in which there is not one but three cemeteries is unforgivable.”

I had an uncle that lived in Wellington. He voted Liberal all his
life until he passed away 10 years ago. Now he votes Labor.

I doubt it. Wasn't that like 50 years ago, antibiotics given to sick
cows ended up in milk?
