Thats one of those "factoids" that came from PETA during one of their milk = rape campaigns. Usually plastered on a picture of a jug of bloody, nasty milk for maximum shock value. Milk from injured teats or sick cows is dumped.

    Also milk = rape is totally factual (though a terrible way to try to reach the public) - Bulls are immobilized and forcibly masturbated in order to get sperm. - Cows are then forcibly inseminated to be pregnant back to back during their lives so they produce milk. This also typically involves restraining the cow in some chute and shoving an arm up the her ass to hold the cervix in place during the process. So if you believe that non-human animals can be SA'd the dairy industry most likely covers that definition. You can look this stuff up yourself in industry sources, it's just industry practice including free-range cows.

    This is not a "factoid" but a fact you can look up yourself from many non-animal rights sources (even if there are many reliable ones). Look up "somatic cell count" on Wikipedia. Food safety regulations around the world define a number of somatic cells (which is what pus is made of). Same for blood cells.
