Beekman NOT Cruelty Free

C’mon HSN stop selling the Beekman products. Goat milk comes from female goats who need to feed their babies.
It’s a well-known fact that male goats are discarded, as in killed, and females are impregnated artficially to keep producing milk.
Continuing to promote animal cruelty and insult the intelligence of your customers needs to end.

LondonMiss, the same is practiced in the Dairy Industry as well. I’m not saying it is ok.

  Yes, I am aware of the cruel practices in the dairy industry. See my response to jazzy333 about the reply to my email from Beekman.

I would be interested in hearing what Beekman do with the male baby goats, I have thought about this in the past when purchasing their products. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions though without knowing the truth. They seem to love their goats very much. I was upset a couple years ago when in one of their magazines or on their website they had printed a personal recipe for lamb . I thought wow if they eat lambs then maybe they do sell the male goats for meat, I would love for them to address these questions but I doubt they ever well, which itself is not a good sign. I would think if they didn’t do this then they would be proud of the fact and make it public because they always focus on and talk about spreading kindness and loving the animals and how wonderful the treatment is of them. So how bout it Josh and Brent? What happens to old goats, females that aren’t producing milk abundantly, male goats and any goats that you don’t keep??????

  Beekman “Neighbor Services Team” said they “bottle serve” their baby goats because “it’s healthier for them”. What?!!! They went on to say that they do this to “free up” the milk to make Beekman products. In my opinion, that is just plain exploitation of the goats. Beekman said that they also sell their goats to local farmers who “want to increase their herd”. They went on to tell me that they are certified, inspected, and have visitors but that, in my opinion, does not necessarily mean that they are the bucolic farm that they claim to be. A quick internet search will show many animal welfare groups that have filmed what really goes on with many so-called organic, cruelty-free farms.
