  milking cows isn’t abuse

    Unless you consider the fact that the only reason they need milking is that they were forced into pregnancy in the first place.

      that’s still not abuse

        Ya know, all you’re doing here is advertising the fact that you have no empathy whatsoever.

        Literally nothing else.

        Yeah, it is. Actual industry practice - impregnate cow mechanically without consent, bring baby cow to term, kill majority of baby cows for veal after separation after a few days from birth, repeat after cows stops producing milk, until cow is used up (around 10 years IIRC, a fraction of their normal lifespan) and also killed for meat.

    If you’d impregnate a woman without her consent, take away her baby and then her milk to drink and make delicous cheese of you’d go to jail. If you do that to a different mammal you don’t, yet. Because specisim. We do whatever the fuck we want with them. They’re just cows.

      talking about consent from cows is absurd: do you get consent from a door before you put your whole self through it?

      source

      • dx1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Don’t confuse you not being able to obtain consent with them with them having an inability to not want something. This speaks to you having no clue what’s going on in their heads.

      comparing women to cows is misogynist. don’t do that.

      source

      • dx1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’ve read this reply in so many forms over the years, and it absolutely misses the point. It’s not misogynistic, the point isn’t to downgrade human women, it’s to point out the horrendous inhuman actions we do to animals and how they absolutely fail the basic moral reasoning we apply to ourselves.

        These Militant Vegans think they elevate animals to equal of humans, but instead they just reduce humans to the level of animals (or below) in their treatment.

      Your tone suggests this is sarcastic, but this is 100% correct.

      speciesism is necessary for right action.

    Yes it is. (4 minutes animated short with no actual graphic images)

      i know what artificial insemination is:

      it’s a veterinary procedure.

      your cartoon isn’t an accurate representation of what happens on farms,

      and

      comparing women to cows is gross.

        It’s incredible how this always goes the same way. Somebody points out the extreme double standard we apply between behavior that would be reprehensible to our species, and that same behavior performed to a different species (that most of us struggle with understanding or having any level of communication with), and without fail, somebody comes along and goes, “you’re being misogynistic/racist by demonstrating the similarity between exploitation of animals and the same ways we exploited humans in the past, using the exact same excuses and mentality as we do for animals now!”

      Man if you just ignore the absurd message they’re trying to promote and just watch this kinda stoned as surrealism, it’s a really fun video.

      Thanks for sharing.
