Are Dairy Robots the Secret to Happier Cows and More Efficient Farms?

[perogiboi@lemmy.ca]

You’re right. It’s horrible and evil and I should disavow both my wife and her cousin for participating in such a thing and burn the entire thing down and free the cows.

Someone doesn't know how dairy farms work...

[pebbles@sh.itjust.works]

You think they just let the cows bone who they want?? Gotta keep the genes tight my homie. So sex with a lot of human intervention and no regard for how they cows feels. Pretend its humans and it would be kinda hard to call it something else, but I bet some folks could wiggle it down to just grooming or something.

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Awesome. Please do that.

No need to live between selfish people.

Cows cannot consent to insemination by humans. And yet that’s what the industry runs on (as well as taking their babies from them so we can have the milk instead, causing the poor mothers severe emotional distress). It’s messed up.

it's not rape. it's a veterinary procedure

Speak for yourself!

The two are not mutually exclusive

I am 100% not a vegan. I eat meat and cheese and eggs and pretty much all animal products. So hear me when I say I regularly grab oat milk when I'm at the store.

It is better than regular milk.

Anyone else watch 10th generation dairyman?

So then explain why cows give milk. Do they just give milk for no reason and want nothing more for humans to get ice cream. Or do they get impregnated and their milk and child stolen?

[slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org]

We take your milk and your child, here is a robot that hugs you.

[perogiboi@lemmy.ca]

Haha you extremists are wild.

I lived on a dairy farm. They are not abused like cattle for beef production. And are you saying in-fertilization is rape? Because I mean. Normal Stud mounting is far worse than an arm up ones vagina.

[nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

yes, they are.

I evaluate basically all my food with what I call "hotdog math". my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.

Not engaging with the carnists but you nailed it.

[x00z@lemmy.world]

You are even worse bud.

Cow milk is usually only cheaper because of subsidies, otherwise it would be much more expensive.
