I’ve seen the process with my own eyes … the cows don’t care, they barley notice. I feel more for the people who have to do that professionally. I live in a Unincorporated (important to hiding the truth of practices, add rodeo training to all of what we are talking about) & Ag. area (I could never really say it is a community, though before the realization I used to, few care about each other), but I have never seen the practice first hand, no sick pun here. Just factually be given what the procedure of sticking almost one's entire arm in the cow's body (not for the cows' health is bad enough, but does not stop there) is, even can be understood through Public Media's 'Creatures Great & Small', done a ton there is enough.

Because inseminating a cow isn't sexual assault or rape and I've never implied that the cows feel pleasure from it. Just that the cows don't really seem to mind it.

Beaten-up is a loaded term, doing such things are not the only violence that happens & degrees of it. As I have said before we, since I live in it to, can become conditioned, along with all other "Beings & people", affecting the witnessing cruelty. I fight to keep myself as a member of our species. Keep in mind all the lands (& the Beings on them) that used to be a lot better, in my case my deceased grandparents owned the property next door & had a forest of trees everywhere (one area so much, think it was indigenous & naturally occurring, failed nursery attempt)- protected their nearly untouched & formerly crappy home during worse hurricane, that spun off (on us & more) the worse tornado to hit our state.

Two-examples (private farms, next door let male & female do it naturally, not selling their milk) are just summer thunder storms results in mud up to the area between cows'-steers' ankles & knees. Hoof problems anyone, Around this area private farms with this problem, because destruction of the land, refuse to admit it happens. & I hear some & off & on cows-steers-calves coughing, sneezing & breathing with congestion. If people lived next door to just these non-industrialized private farm, then they would eventually become Vegan. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] remon@ani.social 2 points 6 months ago* (1 child) If people lived next door to just these non-industrialized private farm, then they would eventually become Vegan. Heh, I've seen this said sooooo many times, but I feel like the opposite is true. I grew up in a small village, a few hundred people. We didn't have a farm ourselves but many of my friends did, so I hung out around them a lot. I don't claim to know everything about the conditions because of that, but I did see someone put their arm inside a cow and horse and my grandma once showed me how to slaughter a rabbit (we ate it later), so it's not like I was sheltered from the more graphic aspects. Yet, when I look back at the people in my life (and I'm quite old and moved around a lot), all the vegans I know are city people. I'm really not aware of any vegans from my home area, which is much more rural. Being around animals in a farm setting doesn't seem to make people vegan, it desensitises them, at least in my experience. For context: I'm talking about a rural area in southern Germany, I'm can't really say how things are in other regions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GreatWhite_Shark_EarthAndBeingsRightsPerson@piefed.social 0 points 6 months ago I have more belief in the average "person", affected by this all. You were not sheltered & you were indoctored (SP?) into it. You know one here, for 30-20+-years, do not know the exact year/date. Plus, being sliding into Veganism or even Vegan in such areas is huge negative, believe me, I knew it, when were NOT invade (too strong, not so sure of that) by The Even Richer-Super Riche Economic Classes/Owners as neighbors, not all, but far, far &far too many that ghost us, unless need something & even more important that the county-state-country-world was a lot more hating Veganism & Animals/Beings Rights.

Where I live, meat is on sale a lot at supermarkets, lots of frozen food meals have meat in, and people might not have time to shop for ingredients or even to cook all the time - which i presume is the key to making veganism cheaper.

I think nothing had any rights before humans invented the concept. And even now, any right that can't or isn't being enforced is pretty much useless and not more valuable than a wish. By the way, the powerful thing, outside of universal forces are all our minds & together they even more powerful.

The scale of it is unbelievable & just a sign of species (in general, obviously) sickness. Just the scale, WOW!!!!! Yes, the way it should be- especially, with potentially spreading ourselves to other worlds/'Global Warming' extinction event first (keep reading), we are in the way/overpopulation-overdensity-caring very little for The Living Earth & The Living Beings (even members of our own species).

Non-human animals aren't moral agents and can't be subjected to the same moral outcomes that humans have. The same way we can't say a hurricane has done something immoral. Non-human animals are moral patients. When moral agents act immorally upon moral patients, the agents are responsible. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ageedizzle@piefed.ca 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately? That's not why people do it though. It is wrong to make up new justifications for actions after the fact. It exists as an industrial process to get animals pregnant more often than they'd naturally choose to. isn’t all sex between any two non-human animals rape? And no, not all sex between 2 animals is rape. Animals can consent to sex with other members of their species, animals can't consent to sex with other species because of communication differences (the big one being any animal with a human). If that’s the case, isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately? The same way that hunting is more moral than farming, letting animals go at it in a natural way is way better than 1. tricking bulls into ejaculating into tubes and 2. forcibly inseminating cows with that genetic material. You need to quantify the rate at which animal rape is occuring to justify using this method on the basis of "preventing rape." Also if you sought to prevent any animal rape, you'd have to seperate them all by sex. As far as I know this doesn't generally happen except for their specific breeding season, and it would be cruel to seperate male and female livestock for their entire existence, just as it's cruel to deny them their natural sexual intercourse. Humans aren't supposed to play God with every facet of an animal's life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GreatWhite_Shark_EarthAndBeingsRightsPerson@piefed.social 7 points 6 months ago Yes, it is.

Non-human animals aren't moral agents and can't be subjected to the same moral outcomes that humans have. The same way we can't say a hurricane has done something immoral. Non-human animals are moral patients. When moral agents act immorally upon moral patients, the agents are responsible. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ageedizzle@piefed.ca 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately? That's not why people do it though. It is wrong to make up new justifications for actions after the fact. It exists as an industrial process to get animals pregnant more often than they'd naturally choose to. isn’t all sex between any two non-human animals rape? And no, not all sex between 2 animals is rape. Animals can consent to sex with other members of their species, animals can't consent to sex with other species because of communication differences (the big one being any animal with a human). If that’s the case, isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately? The same way that hunting is more moral than farming, letting animals go at it in a natural way is way better than 1. tricking bulls into ejaculating into tubes and 2. forcibly inseminating cows with that genetic material. You need to quantify the rate at which animal rape is occuring to justify using this method on the basis of "preventing rape." Also if you sought to prevent any animal rape, you'd have to seperate them all by sex. As far as I know this doesn't generally happen except for their specific breeding season, and it would be cruel to seperate male and female livestock for their entire existence, just as it's cruel to deny them their natural sexual intercourse. Humans aren't supposed to play God with every facet of an animal's life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GreatWhite_Shark_EarthAndBeingsRightsPerson@piefed.social 7 points 6 months ago Yes, it is.

And no, not all sex between 2 animals is rape. Animals can consent to sex with other members of their species, animals can't consent to sex with other species because of communication differences (the big one being any animal with a human). If that’s the case, isn’t this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately? The same way that hunting is more moral than farming, letting animals go at it in a natural way is way better than 1. tricking bulls into ejaculating into tubes and 2. forcibly inseminating cows with that genetic material. You need to quantify the rate at which animal rape is occuring to justify using this method on the basis of "preventing rape." Also if you sought to prevent any animal rape, you'd have to seperate them all by sex. As far as I know this doesn't generally happen except for their specific breeding season, and it would be cruel to seperate male and female livestock for their entire existence, just as it's cruel to deny them their natural sexual intercourse.
