i present the math below
- Comment on Why Should I... 14 hours ago:
yes, I have considered that. and every source I can find puts dairy cows at about 3 years of production, calving for the first time at about 2 years old.
- Comment on Why Should I... 15 hours ago:
it’s possible your operation was not average, and most dairy cows only live 5 years.
anecdotes are not data.

cows don’t naturally live to 20 years. they can live that long if they are well fed and watered and protected from disease, predators, and the environment. that’s an artificial life span.

hardly any dairy calves end up as veal.
- Comment on Why Should I... 20 hours ago:
a dairy cows life span is like 5 years
- Comment on Why Should I... 20 hours ago:
most dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.
- Comment on Why Should I... 20 hours ago:
most dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter, and the life span of a dairy cow is about 5 years.

the “name the trait” argument is so well known vegans just call it “ntt”. they’re not here in good faith; they think they have a gotcha.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 5 months ago:
it takes MUCH more plants to feed animals to then feed humans.
most of the plants fed to animals are parts of plants we can’t or won’t eat. a great example is soy: we run over 4/5 of the global crop through an oil press and extract what we want, and feed the leftover plant matter to animals. no more plants are harmed in this process, and we conserve resources by getting food back from the animals.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 5 months ago:
And yes, it’s ok to kill plants because they do not feel pain
you can’t prove this
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
otherwise it would be waste after we press the soybean for oil
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
we already feed people soy. but we make a lot more than people want to eat. feeding it to livestock is a conservation of resources
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
if we don’t plant soybeans, we won’t get soybean oil
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
these papers are years-old. I’ve read them.
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
Their ‘reactions’ to being cut, like the smell of cut grass, are chemical reactions. Not feelings or desires.
all neurological responses are chemical response. you don’t know if a plant might experience this like emotions
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
this is not proof crows or elephants understand that they, themselves, might die
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
plants don’t want to be eaten. animals don’t want to be eaten. and the reason for both is the same: we don’t have proof they understand the concept
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
somehow I read “beef and dairy”. whoops
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
my bad. carry on
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
Since we both dont really know for sure, we should probably just
suspend judgement on the claim until there is more evidence.
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
we can’t prove a negative. but you are making the claim that requires that they do understand personal mortality, so it is on you to support that claim
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
I’m explaining that “not wanting” something does not require that you even know of that things existence
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
you spoke specifically about cattle. now you are moving the goal posts
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
I’m asking for some peer-reviewed paper to support your claim
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 9 months ago:
in the 15th century, no one wanted an electric car. does that mean they wanted to stop technological progression?
