It's already been killed - you can't bring it back to life, nor can you send a message to the meat industry when the product is still bought and paid for, yet put into the garbage.

The dairy or milk product needs to not be consumed at all. The demand needs to be reduced.

Sorry for being rough, but milk is really disgusting and I don't want cow puss in my hotel room on my pillow waiting for me.
