    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.

    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?

        No, I don’t. Do you think the behavior of animals justifies human behavior?

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

      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.

      almost no cows end up as veal.
