There's no way to sugarcoat it: in order to extract milk you must r--- the cow and then kill its baby, then if you don't milk them, they die.
The treatment of animals is so bad that b-------ty laws have literally failed to pass because they would have criminalized the whole industry, and that's not even to mention the times when people who call out overt, malicious abuse suffer more consequences than the ones doing it.
Basically; the sooner we shut the system down the better. It's unsustainable and only being held together by subsidies anyway.
Rape the cow and kill the baby? Lol what planet are you on? Most farms have a bull.. and "killing the baby", you mean like later in life to eat?
If you don't milk them they die? No.. They stop producing milk
This is completely false. Most dairy cows are artificially inseminated.
In the US maybe, none of the ones I've been to
Even with meat cows, the average farmer pays for an outside stud, who's some really elite show animal that fucks all day, and that it is hoped will generate really fast growing, tasty offspring.
If you don't do that, either you're ranching wrong, or you own the stud and rent it to other people.
