Jury out on health benefits, but ethical verdict on milk is clear

Re: “Vegetarians confused and irritated by facts”, Have Your Say, yesterday.
Whenever animals are raised for milk – be they cows or goats – the babies are killed.
The goats whose milk you happily drink, Thomas, may live longer than calves, but they will still be slaughtered. It matters not whether consuming their milk causes osteoporosis or prevents it. Killing babies so we can steal their milk is just wrong.
