it makes no sense to discuss consent from cows. do you get consent from a lamp when you turn it on?

dx1@lemmy.world 8 months agoYeah, 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.

The normal lifespan of a dairy cow is 5 years. two and a half to 3 years for beef cattle.

The natural lifespan of a cow is ~25 years.

there has literally never been a holstein that lived 20 years without human intervention.

If a cow escapes the pasture, I wouldn’t be surprised to find it dead in 20 minutes. They require the aid of fences and the protection of farm dogs in the vast majority of environments they live in. Whoever is getting cattle to live 20 years is not doing so naturally, far from it

almost no cows end up as veal.

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
no one suggested that.
