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.

This is an example of behavior that pushes anyone who isn’t a militant vegan away. I even know vegans who have second thoughts about their decisions over attitudes like those represented in the comment above me.

I’m not vegan I just don’t lie to myself

i have empathy. cows giving birth and producing milk isn’t abuse.

Makes sense you are a pro lifer

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.

Talking about cows giving consent for sex is peak insanity. Do you think bulls take a cow out for a few dates beforehand?
dx1@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No, I don’t. Do you think the behavior of animals justifies human behavior?
federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 8 months ago
it makes no sense to discuss consent from cows. do you get consent from a lamp when you turn it on?
federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The normal lifespan of a dairy cow is 5 years. two and a half to 3 years for beef cattle.
dx1@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The natural lifespan of a cow is ~25 years.

almost no cows end up as veal.
