The slaughter of pregnant cows is a practice that very few people know about. However, this is the daily routine in slaughterhouses around the world.

Recorded at a Limoges slaughterhouse in France, this undercover investigation by L214 reveals video footage of this horrible reality. A reality that the dairy industry is determined to hide from its customers.

In the dairy industry, cows are routinely impregnated, so they can continue to produce milk. The non-stop pregnancies are essential since cows will only produce milk if they give birth.

As a result of many pregnancies, cows on dairy farms become exhausted and their bodies are naturally able to produce less and less milk. When cows become less profitable, they are sent to slaughter and replaced with their daughters.

Since cows on dairy farms are routinely impregnated, many are sent to slaughter when pregnant. During slaughter, the unborn embryos are ripped out from their bodies.
