      I feel like we need to begin this conversation by establishing that I can’t talk to cows

      Cows can cry. Did you even know that? When they bellow and cry actual tears for weeks or months after their children are stolen from them, we can be pretty fucking certain they are not happy about it.

      Cows are herd animals. Herd animals are more socially sophisticated than even we are. They feel very deeply. They experience empathy. Do you?

        So then let’s just release them all and watch them get eaten alive by wolves and cyotes. That’s a MUCH better life then having food given to them, have their medical needs met. Yep, terrible life…

          So let’s just forget that idiotic point you were trying to make previously, eh?

          Guy, you don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t know anything about the life of a dairy cow. You KNOW you don’t know anything about the life of a dairy cow. You are arguing from an ignorant, emotional position. And your motivations are clear to everyone but you.

          The animals we create are morally entitled to the same unconditional love and protection as our own children. There is not a meaningful moral difference between breeding an animal and adopting a child.

            Bud, ya dont know I have a farm and have a few dairy farms around (neighbours)

            When is the last time ya smelled manure being spread on a field??

            Have you ever mucked out a stall?? Have you Milked a cow or goat??

            I have, Im tired of hearing from dumbasses whom have never stepped in shit before.

            Yes there are some cruelties but those get by far out weighed by the actions of the farmers to keep their animals safe. Nature is a cruel bitch
