This song is a heart-wrenching journey into the painful realities of growing up on a farm, where the innocence of childhood was shattered by the harsh truths of the dairy and egg industries. As a child, I was tasked with bottle-feeding baby calves, forming bonds with these gentle creatures, only to witness them being hauled away for slaughter, destined to become veal. The pain of seeing their trusting eyes filled with fear and knowing their fate is a memory that haunts me to this day.
At just 13, I worked on a chicken farm, where one of my duties was to cull-kill-the male baby chicks because they were of no use to an egg farm. The cruelty and coldness of these tasks are the realities of farming that many are unaware of, especially in the dairy and egg industries. This song is a reflection on those dark times, a cry for compassion, and a plea for a world where such suffering is no longer necessary.
This is more than just a song; it’s a call to awareness, a glimpse into the emotional toll that these practices take on those who experience them firsthand. Let this song be a voice for the voiceless, a reminder that every life, no matter how small, deserves love and kindness. 🌱💔
