淘汰乳牛不僅是台灣肉品主要來源，究其根源就是酪農的副產業。乳母牛生殖週期達六七年，一生可懷孕四次，所生產的生乳高達三萬公升，為酪農帶來豐厚的收入。無法再行人工受孕的母牛，即刻淘汰送殺，母乳牛可說是經濟型動物中最受壓榨的動物之一！

觀音的家是淘汰牛寶的家園！我們的開基園區 - 牛寶園區，七年來收容了難以計數，即將送入屠宰場的牛兒，如今學會已擁有三座牛家園，為如母的功德主積功累德，並延續過往救生的功德力，期盼師兄姐持續支持學會鼓勵園區，一起為維護此救生護生的家園而努力！支持辦法：

【May - the month celebrating the love of mothers: urgent rescue of an abandoned cow】(please share to save and protect animals)
【Rescue of sea fish in May: please support our rescue of sea fish on Heping Island, Keelung City and those kept in net cages in Penghu】

Every year, around 40,000 cattle are being slaughtered in Taiwan. Many cows, being one of the poor farm animals, have to endure great pain and torture, from being kept at farms to being served on plate. Ninty-five percent of beef in Taiwan's market is contributed by diary cattle!

Abandoned cattle are considered "by-product" in the eyes of diary farmers, that these poor animals eventually end up to be slaughtered for meat that makes up the most of the market. Female diary cattle usually have a reproductive period for up to 6-7 years long, and they can be gestated four times in their lives. During such period, they can produce up to 30,000L milk that helps farmers to make a fortune. Sadly, those cattle who are incapable of artificial conception will be sent to slaughter immediately. Diary cattle are in no doubt one of the most exploited farm animals!

The Home of Avalokitesvara is the forever home for abandoned cows! We first established in the form of sanctuary for cows. With countless rescue of cows soon to be killed, we are proud to say that we now have 3 zones especially for cows. This accumulates many meritorious virtues for all mother-like benefactors, and also continues their previously cultivated meritorious virtues of saving lives. We hope that you could continue to support our sanctuary, and to save and protect lives together!

Remember to dedicate the merits of saving and protecting animals to your karmic creditors and every sentient being in the world by invoking the aid of Buddha:

1. May all sentient beings leave suffering and attain bliss.
2. May the merit and virtue accrued from this work
Adorn the Buddha’s Pure Land,
Repaying the four kinds of kindness above
And aiding those suffering in the three paths below.
May those who see and hear of this
Bring forth the resolve for Bodhi
And when this life is over,
Be born together in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
3. Followed by any other specific best wishes for specific beings.
