Law and Justice (PiS) MP Dariusz Matecki published a recording from outside the Sejm, where a speech from a gathering of feminist activists can be heard. The activists were protesting, among other things, against sexual violence toward cows. “Motherhood is a curse in this system,” it was argued in the context of animal farming.
On International Women’s Day, many public figures spoke about the particularly important role of women in the modern world and the need to support them. Feminist organizations that declare they fight for women’s rights also spoke out about what they consider the scandalous treatment of… cows.
“Females are treated like reproductive machines. The lives of cows are essentially an endless cycle of forced insemination, pregnancy and birth,” we hear in the recording published by MP Matecki on X.
The activist points out that in the end, an exhausted and sick cow ends up in a slaughterhouse.
“Motherhood is a curse in this system because the calf is brutally taken away from its mother in the first hours of life, so that the milk that should be intended for the calf can be sold to people. Farmers then artificially maintain the cow’s lactation before impregnating her again,” the activist thunders, calling cattle farming “a repeating sequence of torture.”
“That is why one of the demands of our feminist movement is opposition to rape culture,” we hear in the recording.
