While accused rapist and sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs awaits his trial behind bars, PETA wrote to the warden asking to serve him only dairy-free meals in order to prevent him from being involved with any instances of sexual assault while in custody.
“Mr. Combs is accused of rape, sex trafficking, and similar offenses involving nonconsensual sexual acts, so please consider that the meat and dairy meals he’s given are also products of sexual violence, certainly extreme sexual violence against females in the dairy industry, whose reproductive systems are manipulated, controlled, and exploited,” the letter states.
In the dairy industry, workers forcibly restrain and artificially inseminate (i.e., rape) female cows by thrusting their hands inside them on what the industry itself calls “rape racks.”
As shown in this 60-second video, to impregnate a cow, a person jams their arm far into the cow’s rectum to locate and position the uterus and then forces a long semen-delivery syringe into her vagina. Cows often bellow and try to escape, but they are held fast, sometimes with a “twitch,” a cruel means of causing pain to their nostrils to make them afraid to move.
After a mother cow gives birth, workers tear her precious baby away from her within hours. Many mother cows cry and call out for their calves for days after they’ve been separated.
“It seems appropriate, therefore, to prevent [Mr. Combs]—and any other accused sexual offender—from contributing to the exploitation and abuse of any female while he’s in prison by serving him only dairy-free meals. And we are pleased to note that your facility already has such meals available. Serving sex offenders only dairy-free meals may also save taxpayers money by decreasing healthcare costs, since vegans have a lower risk of suffering from heart disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and many other common health problems than meat-eaters do.”
PETA also offered to send the prison vegan recipes.
Go Vegan
Cows are sensitive, social animals who don’t want to be abused for their milk or body parts. Like all mothers, they want to protect and nurture their young. Please show cows and all other animals exploited and killed for food empathy by going vegan. Order PETA’s free vegan starter kit to make the compassionate switch today:
