Dogs love chocolate too which can kill them. Please let me know if you are able to find a vet worldwide who recommends feeding cows' milk to a cat or a dog. Cows' milk is notorious for causing diarrhoea in cats.
Dairy products (especially milk, fermented cheeses and yoghurt) should not be fed to dogs as most dogs are lactose intolerant and their levels of lactase (responsible for the digestion of milk sugar) decreases with age.
"The International Osteoporosis Foundation doesn't present a negative link between milk and osteoporosis(that seems to be a conclusion drawn by peta,viva or similar groups and spread amongst themselves and gullible followers)."
Rojo. I have not obtained my information from “Peta, Viva or similar groups” and like Yabby, you should refrain from describing those who oppose your views as “gullible”:

“By the way it was the biological plant's waste that was class 4 landfill, not the human faeces component (from your link)."
Rojo. Again you distort the facts. Trucks often brought mixed loads, which resulted in cross-contamination of waste streams. Simply put human faeces was mixed with industrial hazardous waste. This plant was "regulated" by the Department of Environment.
I am privy to FOIs obtained on the operations of Brookdale. Are you?
The “biological” sludge (human faeces) was deemed suitable only for a Class 4 landfill. In my opinion it should have gone to a Class 5 landfill. Instead, it was given free to farmers and the public. It was also sold as soil conditioner. The overwhelming evidence reveals that the “treatment” was shabby indeed, if in fact it was treated at all. Class 5 is the most hazardous and I would suggest that the sludge in question was suitable only for that grade.
And while I realise that human sewage is a problem and does need to be recycled in a safe manner, I, unlike you, are not so “gullible” as to believe that government regulators and operators of the intensive production of dairy cattle, are yet operating with any altruistic motives.
I would again advise: "Buyers beware."
