Homes Needed for 2,600 Big Island Dairy Cows
Members of the HLFARN, one of the groups instrumental in the rescue operations of animals in last year’s Lower Puna lava flow crisis, are currently engaged in an effort to save some of these animals.
You have to promise not to eat them or milk them if you adopt them through this group.

Wouldn't they be in tremendous pain if you stopped milking them abruptly?

Yes.
You’d have to continue milking them until they dry up.
If they’re not bred after that, the cows won’t produce any more milk.

Why not, we have an f'ing herd of them already... and they don't even eat grass...

"Had to send back a wine the other day. It was bottled a few years too soon to go with our Sea Bass that was caught at 07:45 earlier in the day. Our server thought the combination would work but there was no precise date for the bottling so we had to play safe."
