@Chishio Chishio it is also a matter of being able to give consent or not. We can feel sympathy and choose not to participate in the cruelty of the animals just as feeling sympathy and choosing not to buy products made by the people who are forced to do labor against their will.
You've never met 535 at Buffalo Springs Ranch. She attacked the feed truck twice, crippled three ranch horses and tore up a quarter mile of fence. Then she calved as a 12 year old and then killed her bull calf. Not all cattle are docile.
This is a great initiative and I'm really happy that people are trying to do something but I worry that the farmers are doing it for the money and don't really care about the animals. They are all talking about profits and not animal welfare.
apart from the aspect of how humans treat animals, something must be wrong when a pig is sold for 3 euros. If farmers are always in danger of being financially ruined by the meat and dairy industry - something is wrong. Bad for the environment, bad for the people working in and for this industry and bad for the animals of course
Since their actions do not influence the demand at all, the place of the sick animals saved are taken by other, healthy animals. Looks like it’s pointless except of some people gaining profits from it and donors thinking they have done good. What a terrible waste of resources.
@@dromeozaur But you forget that these people don’t think that animals are resources but instead individuals with emotions. So every animal saved from this industry is still a success.
We must educate and change our farming practices in favor of these animals they provides and produce so that us humans can live an healthy lives so farmers and animals keepers deserve to let these animals live a natural and healthy life until death, in Australia a documentary exposed how racing horses are slaughtered and killed when they have reached the end of their racing life which was inhumane
@@feisaldianga511 In a sense, yes, but you'd do well not to project human emotions onto non human entities, independent of what they might be. thats something that often fail even from population to population or culture to culture, species to species is a even greater leap.
Cows are such important beings they are the ones that can fix our degraded farm lands with the fertility they can provide. Thank you Farm of Life and DW.
That "property" and "thing" has feelings, it can feel fear, pain because it desires to live. They're so good-natured they've been taking our abuse for thousands of years. No wonder so many vegans act like misanthropes... But there is hope, seeing farmers changing their mindset like this, willingly even.
It seems to me that the only reason the farmers are going this way is because someone is paying them. There is no product here to sell. Its only a matter of time before the ´Farms´ are at full capacity and the money is at its limit. Its a very nice idea but unrealistic as a ´Way Forward´.
more complicated than this documentary communicates, it's interesting to hear their side. i think theres some nuance between cruelty and compassion, it's not binary. the amount of money, time and effort expanded on these animals when theres such overwhelming human suffering dose somewhat boggle the mind. 120eurs /mnth on supporting a cow?
But is a lot of this human suffering not a by-product of this? The caloric transfer from plants to animals is about 10%--therefore we would have the space to feed 10x as many calories to people if we didn't feed them to the animals whom we don't all have access to
respect! it takes a little while before you learn what substitution products to eat to get the same amount of fibers, proteins, vitamines etc but it´s definitely worth it!
I can't make the jump to veganism yet, but in the past year I have chosen to purchase meat less and when I do, buy from ethical sources. Thanks for putting out these documentaries!
Wow what wonderful people. If I may I would like to suggest even if animals are not producing milk they can help produce organic fertilizer. Organic is gaining popularity and it will help these farmers.
I’m not an advocate of big agribusiness but rather small holding sustainable local type. Seeing the farms of life looked weird like the other dystopian side of the coin.
@@ljduk7595 I get the cause/point of video. Many animals have suffered and are suffering. We need to reduce meat consumption. Find alternatives.

Omg this is something I get upset about everyday. I live in Wisconsin and more n more I see huge corporate farms. Those poor cows stand in their stalls n eat all day. Not many cows get to to graze in the field anymore. Hell they dont even get to mate they get impregnated and bull sperm is a HUGE business. They have labs onsite to "handle " the bull sperm or they actually even have special handlers that travel all over to impregnate cows n extract the sperm. Nothing but business. Sooo sad . 😥
true about food in general. It's something certain stores have started doing with things that are just barely off so that it can't be sold but still isn't spoiled. They give it to the homeless and starving, its a nice incentive.

I am against industrial exploitation of animals, however it is pointless to expend resources to preserve animals which have been bred to be passive, unintelligent, and productive. It would be better to utilize former pastureland for wildlife habitat. Wild animal populations continue to decline in most of the world.
i've work in one dairy farm and when boy calv was born , death sentence ; only a month , i quit this death camp ; humans deserve all the pain and suffering off this world
You are not supposed to kill them to a certain point. You seriously don't, because the meat will be tough and pigs might taste bad. So, we all don't feel good about it. Yes, and pigs are smart, then don't eat any kind of meat. Just eat vegetables and fruits. But, find out is right. There's alot of ways to get some food from them without killing them, but like he said " with out them we might not have kill them but, we can different resources from them. "
I love what they are doing, giving production animals a new home. There are some solutions like this in the US, where you basically adopt a farm animal. But I think a middle approach would be best here in the us, at least until we all switch to plant based food- Small farms that are concerned with quality of life. I have a small flock of egg laying chickens who I will not slaughter, and I treat as my pets. If I do milk cows or goats in the future, they will get the same treatment. However i understand that this is not a sustainable solution for those living in the city. I’ve yet to decide on my feelings about meat, since I do enjoy meat on occasion.
The thing is all animals die. Eventually. That is the time to eat them. However they dont die to order so it creates a supply and demand issue. If all the refuges, because they are not farms if they do not produce a product, could collaborate, it may be possible to still sell butchered meat just farmed ethically. Humans are carnivores as well as herbivores. Lets not forget that. Vegans need to remember this. Not everyone wants to give up meat and should not be forced or guilted into having to give meat up.
While I grew up my family raised cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits for food. We also had a huge garden. Our animals had names and we knew them and their personalities. When the time came to fill the freezer with meat that's what we did. We always did it as humanely as possible. I still get care packages from my family. The meat from them always tastes much better than the factory farms.
Sorry, but that just doesn't make much sense. You can not kill someone humanely - a humane thing is to forgive and love! The act of taking someone's life is just that - killing, or murder even. If you and your family had no other sources of food and were starving, than it's about survival. Otherwise, it's just a habit.
@@Noukz37 Makes perfect sense. Not everybody is rich enough to buy food from who knows where, even now still rural often equalls poor. But with access to land a full belly becomes much easier. You want to know where what you eat comes from, the only way to be 100% sure is to grow, raise (and slaughter) it yourself. It does however come with a higher demand in calories (about 1000 more/day) and a higher protein need. Plus animal manure makes good fertilizer (when composted). There is a very simple reason agricultural development in 3rd world nations focusses on livestock for meat, eggs and dairy rather than growing crops. Meat is a concentrated foodsource that can be raised on plants humans cannot eat. And properly managed both confined and grazed improve pastures and revitilize cropfields. That city and first world people have the possibility to get whatever they want to eat for whatever diet they choose from where-ever it is grown is a recent and looking at rising transport costs short lived luxury. If we want to keep a viable human habitat we'll need to go back to local and seasonal foods pretty soon.
@@hillockfarm8404 There is so much wrong with the things you just wrote, I don't even know where to begin. :-) Obviously you've never read about permaculture, agro-forestry, rotational grazing and other FACTS that show how people used to live for thousands of years. Also, animals can be kept on the land to improve the overall health of the ecosystem without harming or killing them. I don't have enough energy and time to dispute your misinformation, you need to read and research more, that's all I will say.
@@Noukz37 I run a system like that. Know plenty about it. I also don't see an animal as a human. That would mean treating it as something it is not. It is your reaction against eating meat that i responded to. Not everybody has the same resources and access or metabolism that you do. Also if you have animals sooner or later you'll face the challenge of when to either rehome/euthanise/slaughter due to problems with either the animal or yourself. Be realistic, yes quality of life comes first, no matter how long/short it may be. Ideals are fine, just be realistic about who can share them. And don't judge those who for whatever reason cannot do so.
@@hillockfarm8404 Well if you're able to write your original comment like that, you should be "prepared" for judgements. :-) My original response was about the moral hypocrisy and the priority of taste.
Hopefully it doesn't need to be sustained. As meat consumption in developed countries decreases, and other farmers learn ethical farming practices instead of shipping these animals off elsewhere, there will be less need for this.
You do understand that every big company is propped up by tax breaks, cutting corners and under paying workers right? To the point where taxpayers are basically paying their labor costs. If they were forced to be ethical it wouldn't be "sustainable" either. When all you care about are profits.
@@funnyfarm299 So who will pay for the upkeep of the millions of cows that live to 15-20yrs old, 10 to 15yrs of upkeep. Plus all the pigs, sheep, chickens etc. Many will die because they are no longer a commodity, will no longer provide an income. Look at the number of abandoned pets and they are what many care more about, are we going to have cows and pigs left out to starve as they will no longer be cared for? I am all for a more sustainable model and get rid of factory farming. To expect that the whole planet will stop eating meat in at least the next 100yrs is not a realistic one. 99% of all consumed meat is from animals that would never have lived at all if not for that reason.
I love the ‘rescue’ BUT… you are now depending on donations to support your PET animal farm.. To what end ? This might be a great solution for the end of a traditional occupation, but it has no chance of long term ‘welfare support’ and subsidies to support the ‘farmers’ who are now nothing but glorified lifetime ‘pet owners’. If you cannot ‘eat them’, what is the point in expecting someone else to support your ‘lifestyle’ ? I just do NOT see the ‘big picture’. Help me out here…
@@deWiAnNaEnEcBi3857 Cannibals don't eat cannibals. A lion would never eat a bear, but would eat a rabbit or a deer or even a horse. But not a meat eating creature. I eat meat.

little steps towards a kinder world.❤️ Hindus have been doing this for generations that too "Without Any Donations" we consider it dharma to respect every living being...in fact highest no of vegetarians live in India❤️
The reason we eat animals is due to a number of reasons but food security would be one of them. For example take a wet climate that can grow lots of grass. People cannot eat grass. Growing crops in the climate is problematic as one year the harvest might be successful and the next might mean that the harvest is a complete failure. Grass will grow all year round but the key point here is that it needs to be grazed. Grass absorbs carbon when its growing. If it isn't grazed then it will die and stop absorbing carbon. Ploughing a field releases carbon into the atmosphere where as grasslands retain more. But we cannot eat grass. We let cows eat the grass and then we can eat the meat provided from the cow. Shipping food all over the world growing in massive plantations are doing more harm than cows are. Monoculture are not good we need diversity. Grasslands with hedgerows are full of animals and diversity. Also if we are not careful and with the weather we could easily slip into food shortages and famines. If you think cows are bad for the planet then think of this, were the American prairies empty of animals when the white man arrived. No they were full of buffaloes that sustained life in a perfect ecosystem. Millions of them. Now the prairies are empty and have just one crop CORN with very little life and diversity and massive amounts of chemicals poured on it every year.
I'm not a fan of the current meat industry but we cannot be radical about it. We need balance, diversity, and less pollution and chemicals. We need to stop shipping food all over the world and grow and eat locally and in season foods. Food with a low carbon footprint and people who have plenty of food security. Take Ireland as an example in the 1840 the main crop was potatoes and the crop failed year after year and a million people died. The people who died were the poorest in society. A million more emigrated, these people were starving....
It's not necessary to consume meat or dairy in order to live a healthy or even athletic life. Meat and dairy production entails pain, suffering and injury. Thus meat and dairy production is, by definition, cruel. Or which one of those premises would you deny?
Most vegans give up after months others cheat like mad. Veganism is a cult and utterly stupid. It's unnatural and has never been a normal state in human history.
If we are going to make excuses about the profit... stop it. Veganism is also profitable and more sustainable. In capitalism anything is possible. We just need to slowly change our habits as we've been doing for the last 10, 000 years. Relax. Go vegan.
Veganismn is not profile for farmers, but for the industry only. To them they are another cow easy to milk. And a blind one, too - as long as your company invests enough into greenwashing.
Unfortunately most of the veg in shops is grown hydroponically. None of it has ever seen soil and is not that good for you. The only way to do it properly is to go organic and that is costly and can be very time consuming. Most people have enough to deal with in day to day life to realistically undertake a change to veganism in the correct way. Im still trying to find a vegan that doesnt take supplements, especially iron.
@@colinjones9211 Man, were do you get your information? My god. 1.- Hydroponic food is far more nutritious than food cultivated in soil. There is plenty of research about it. 2.- Organic also isn't the solution. It consumes more water than traditional farming. Organic isn't also healthier than regular food production. There is also plenty of research about it. 3.- Vegans take supplements but mostly for B12, not for iron. There is plenty of iron in vegetable sources. Not the same as B12, which is harder to find in vegetable world. Man, you really need to improve your facts. You have it all backwards. Sorry. Have a great day.
Amazing Unique &Wonderful Video from excellent Documentary channel(DW)thanks for Sharing , its Exaggeration Kindness to wards Tamed Animals , Donating whole respect& attention for Animals Living Rights . Opposite of Economic Greedy which humanity are accustoming on it .its complicated issue & has two opposite direction of seems & evaluation .
Was hoping for more insights into horticulture. Why would you not slaughter an old dairy cow? You are just going to let them suffer until they parish for your own conscious. What needs to stop is massive stock yards where all the young cows that get slaughtered have only eaten subsidized corn their whole lives. Unfortunately most people are not willing to pay the difference because they have the option to buy cheap beef over free range grass fed beef.
I was so shy to have ethics and veganism Because my community don't like to be veganism. I'm in Germany I would like to be volunteer Animals have us live back. In Africa climate change hitt us a lot because mass deforestation and killing animals Somali in daily they usually killed more than 500 to 1000 animals. Like cow and camel goats and chickens Somali is the leading exporter of animals in Africa

Meat is a concentrated foodsource that can be raised on plants humans cannot eat. And properly managed both confined and grazed improve pastures and revitilize cropfields. That city and first world people have the possibility to get whatever they want to eat for whatever diet they choose from where-ever it is grown is a recent and looking at rising transport costs short lived luxury. If we want to keep a viable human habitat we'll need to go back to local and seasonal foods pretty soon.
@@hillockfarm8404 There is so much wrong with the things you just wrote, I don't even know where to begin. :-) Obviously you've never read about permaculture, agro-forestry, rotational grazing and other FACTS that show how people used to live for thousands of years. Also, animals can be kept on the land to improve the overall health of the ecosystem without harming or killing them. I don't have enough energy and time to dispute your misinformation, you need to read and research more, that's all I will say.
@@Noukz37 I run a system like that. Know plenty about it. I also don't see an animal as a human. That would mean treating it as something it is not. It is your reaction against eating meat that i responded to. Not everybody has the same resources and access or metabolism that you do.
Also if you have animals sooner or later you'll face the challenge of when to either rehome/euthanise/slaughter due to problems with either the animal or yourself. Be realistic, yes quality of life comes first, no matter how long/short it may be. Ideals are fine, just be realistic about who can share them. And don't judge those who for whatever reason cannot do so.
@@hillockfarm8404 Well if you're able to write your original comment like that, you should be "prepared" for judgements. :-)
My original response was about the moral hypocrisy and the priority of taste.
It is needed to get such assistance for poor marginalized Communities to live a dignity life as human beings in India
DW informative.
I hope u can make another vid about farming or nature
I don't see how this can be sustained, relying on donations to keep the association going and paying the farmers to NOT kill and sell their animals.
Hopefully it doesn't need to be sustained. As meat consumption in developed countries decreases, and other farmers learn ethical farming practices instead of shipping these animals off elsewhere, there will be less need for this.
You do understand that every big company is propped up by tax breaks, cutting corners and under paying workers right? To the point where taxpayers are basically paying their labor costs. If they were forced to be ethical it wouldn't be "sustainable" either. When all you care about are profits.
@@funnyfarm299 So who will pay for the upkeep of the millions of cows that live to 15-20yrs old, 10 to 15yrs of upkeep. Plus all the pigs, sheep, chickens etc. Many will die because they are no longer a commodity, will no longer provide an income. Look at the number of abandoned pets and they are what many care more about, are we going to have cows and pigs left out to starve as they will no longer be cared for? I am all for a more sustainable model and get rid of factory farming. To expect that the whole planet will stop eating meat in at least the next 100yrs is not a realistic one. 99% of all consumed meat is from animals that would never have lived at all if not for that reason.

Jooooh****
I love the ‘rescue’ BUT… you are now depending on donations to support your PET animal farm.. To what end ? This might be a great solution for the end of a traditional occupation, but it has no chance of long term ‘welfare support’ and subsidies to support the ‘farmers’ who are now nothing but glorified lifetime ‘pet owners’.
If you cannot ‘eat them’, what is the point in expecting someone else to support your ‘lifestyle’ ?
I just do NOT see the ‘big picture’.
Help me out here…
Stopgap measure until meat consumption decreases and most/all farmers embrace ethical farming.
Totally agree Nice idea but........
Stop breeding animals.
Well at least they can get some manure for plants. That's about all.
People living in village might understand my point.
Pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on Earth. They're more smart than the dogs... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
They make fantastic bacon.
@@pepper419 cannibals are said same words after they are read your comment. They said you will be best dinner for them...😋😋😋😋😍🥰😘
@@deWiAnNaEnEcBi3857 Cannibals don't eat cannibals. A lion would never eat a bear, but would eat a rabbit or a deer or even a horse. But not a meat eating creature. I eat meat.
@@pepper419 pure dumb.. 😂😂😂😂
You talking about carnivorous not cannibals. Dumb+evil... 😀😀😀😀😂
Why don’t you do a video in the horrific whale slaughter in the faroes they have just killed 1428 of them
Dogs are needed to look after cow.
Thy shall not kill 🙏🙏🙏
If you're going to use old English, use it properly. Thou. Vegans kill more and far more often than any butcher.
DW, do you have some thing to do with Peta?
Their living my dream. I love cows
Do you own one? I bet you live in a city apartment, your mother fed you steak until a year ago and she ate steak all her life too or you wouldn't be here.
Funny how they don't bring up animal agriculture during the climate summit
Great👍 to see 👀 human considering animals🐵🐔🐶🐷 in the way it should be.
There are many farms that let injured and old animals live their rest of life. 🇮🇳India is great.
Nice 👍🏼 😇
little steps towards a kinder world.❤️ Hindus have been doing this for generations that too "Without Any Donations" we consider it dharma to respect every living being...in fact highest no of vegetarians live in India❤️
How gosh! But mostly creepy
Animal Righs in all the planet now!!!
Sehr einseitige Dokumentation. Wirkt eher fast wie ein Werbefilm auf mich. Ansonsten gut gemacht...
The reason we eat animals is due to a number of reasons but food security would be one of them. For example take a wet climate that can grow lots of grass. People cannot eat grass. Growing crops in the climate is problematic as one year the harvest might be successful and the next might mean that the harvest is a complete failure. Grass will grow all year round but the key point here is that it needs to be grazed. Grass absorbs carbon when its growing. If it isn't grazed then it will die and stop absorbing carbon. Ploughing a field releases carbon into the atmosphere where as grasslands retain more. But we cannot eat grass. We let cows eat the grass and then we can eat the meat provided from the cow. Shipping food all over the world growing in massive plantations are doing more harm than cows are. Monoculture are not good we need diversity. Grasslands with hedgerows are full of animals and diversity. Also if we are not careful and with the weather we could easily slip into food shortages and famines. If you think cows are bad for the planet then think of this, were the American prairies empty of animals when the white man arrived. No they were full of buffaloes that sustained life in a perfect ecosystem. Millions of them. Now the prairies are empty and have just one crop CORN with very little life and diversity and massive amounts of chemicals poured on it every year.
I'm not a fan of the current meat industry but we cannot be radical about it. We need balance, diversity, and less pollution and chemicals. We need to stop shipping food all over the world and grow and eat locally and in season foods. Food with a low carbon footprint and people who have plenty of food security. Take Ireland as an example in the 1840 the main crop was potatoes and the crop failed year after year and a million people died. The people who died were the poorest in society. A million more emigrated, these people were starving....
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Teach your children that cows are mothers and bull are the father
When they grow up they won't send there parents to the slaughter house.
I appreciate ur vid
good karma ❤️
It's not necessary to consume meat or dairy in order to live a healthy or even athletic life.
Meat and dairy production entails pain, suffering and injury.
Thus meat and dairy production is, by definition, cruel.
Or which one of those premises would you deny?
Most vegans give up after months others cheat like mad.
Veganism is a cult and utterly stupid. It's unnatural and has never been a normal state in human history.
Sorry guys but I still love my bacon
Why be sorry, be proud of the fact, you're brain need good meat and fat.
Weakness is a sickness
Keeping sick and animal in pain is more harsh and inhumane than slaughtering that animal.
Nah.... doesnt make sense. No need to prolong these animals suffering
If we are going to make excuses about the profit... stop it. Veganism is also profitable and more sustainable. In capitalism anything is possible. We just need to slowly change our habits as we've been doing for the last 10, 000 years. Relax. Go vegan.
Veganismn is not profile for farmers, but for the industry only. To them they are another cow easy to milk. And a blind one, too - as long as your company invests enough into greenwashing.
Unfortunately most of the veg in shops is grown hydroponically. None of it has ever seen soil and is not that good for you. The only way to do it properly is to go organic and that is costly and can be very time consuming. Most people have enough to deal with in day to day life to realistically undertake a change to veganism in the correct way. Im still trying to find a vegan that doesnt take supplements, especially iron.
@@colinjones9211 Man, were do you get your information? My god.
1.- Hydroponic food is far more nutritious than food cultivated in soil. There is plenty of research about it.
2.- Organic also isn't the solution. It consumes more water than traditional farming. Organic isn't also healthier than regular food production. There is also plenty of research about it.
3.- Vegans take supplements but mostly for B12, not for iron. There is plenty of iron in vegetable sources. Not the same as B12, which is harder to find in vegetable world.
Man, you really need to improve your facts. You have it all backwards. Sorry. Have a great day.
Good
Amazing Unique &Wonderful Video from excellent Documentary channel(DW)thanks for Sharing , its Exaggeration Kindness to wards Tamed Animals , Donating whole respect& attention for Animals Living Rights . Opposite of Economic Greedy which humanity are accustoming on it .its complicated issue & has two opposite direction of seems & evaluation .
I wish I was a cow or a pig and lived in this nature that God gave you 😂
Where's my dinner. Steak with bacon.
Was hoping for more insights into horticulture. Why would you not slaughter an old dairy cow? You are just going to let them suffer until they parish for your own conscious. What needs to stop is massive stock yards where all the young cows that get slaughtered have only eaten subsidized corn their whole lives. Unfortunately most people are not willing to pay the difference because they have the option to buy cheap beef over free range grass fed beef.
Yes cows are that good so in India we do call as holy cow.
Nice to know in India they're respected. Milked and used though, Indians are not vegans.
I was so shy to have ethics and veganism
Because my community don't like to be veganism.
I'm in Germany I would like to be volunteer
Animals have us live back.
In Africa climate change hitt us a lot because mass deforestation and killing animals
Somali in daily they usually killed more than 500 to 1000 animals. Like cow and camel goats and chickens
Somali is the leading exporter of animals in Africa
