Do milk cows eat meat?

A strange question isn't it but a friend of me today told me they do and therefore the normal milk we buy might be not so healthy. Have you ever heard something like this? I looked around but couldnt find sufficient information to confirm this.
I thought milk cows eat grass or fodder, something like that and not all the unnecessary parts of chickens or cows.

This sounds horrible to me now.

Well,English meat companies tried such a thing but after a few months the cows went mad(recall the "mad cow" disease).
The result was the burning of thousands of cows...

I think no one has guts to try such a thing again
But who knows?

I just found this on cows, and what they eat in America!

WHAT DO COWS EAT?

Were you under the mistaken impression that dairy cows ate
grass?

The March 25, 2002 issue of Hoard's Dairyman (the dairy
farmers magazine) reveals a mixed menu of gourmet foods in a
dairy cow's diet, including chicken feathers, blood, pork,
fish, and soybeans.

Does that grass-fed cow portrayed on a carton of milk
reflect what really goes into moo-juice?

Better check what's in Elsie's medicine cabinet. Few cows


ever see those grassy fields. The page 232 Hoard's article
reveals:

Nearly seventy-nine percent of cows are fed sodium
bicarbonate. Greater than half of the cows in America
receive selenium, yeast, and magnesium oxide. More than one
third of America's dairy cows take supplements including
zinc methionine, niacin, anionic salts, and tallow (rendered
fat) from their deceased brothers and sisters.

Forty-eight percent of dairy cows are fed roasted soybeans!
Yummm. Thirty-nine percent receive dried blood from their
own brutally murdered children, mothers, sisters, and aunts.
Makes me sick to my stomach.

Fifteen percent receive ground-up fish. Ever see a cow
working a trout stream? Four percent of cows eat feathers.
Don't let a cow near your down comforter. Two percent of
cows are fed pork.

All of those feathers and blood must make for a thirsty
bovine. How much water does a cow drink? Over two hundred
pounds per day! Since the average cow in America yields just
50 pounds of milk each day, where does that other 150 pounds
go? Multiply the 9,115,000 dairy cows in America by 150
pounds of urine each day, by 365 days in a year, and you'll
end up with enough pee to fill the Potomic.

You'll end up with enough pee to fill every one of 50
million bathtubs in America for two months so that each day
they overflow. (One-half trillion pounds!) Not to worry,
though. The pee is actually filtered into our groundwater,
and you can hardly taste it when brushing your teeth.
(Perhaps you now understand why water is chlorinated,
fluoridated, and disinfected before you turn on your tap.)

Makes me want to give up milk!

Yes Linda,
I was reading the same website,

http://www.amazingdiscoveries.org/health_milk2.htm

And a few more horrible websites about milk causing mucus. I think I will give up too.
I was also never suspicious about cows milk being an unsuitable drink for humans but now I'm. Maybe I should strict with fruit juice and water.

That's why I buy organic milk. It's a lot cleaner!

I will try organic milk as well. I dont want to drink milk of cows who are eating "chicken feathers, blood, pork, fish, and soybeans" This is disgusting.
