No
Betteridge’s law applies. The answer to a yes-no headline question is always no.
Anyone else watch 10th generation dairyman?
No. Not raping and abusing them for selfish human wants makes cows happier. This is the stupidest shit ever.
I lived on a dairy farm. They are not abused like cattle for beef production. And are you saying in-fertilization is rape? Because I mean. Normal Stud mounting is far worse than an arm up ones vagina.
no one is raping cows
Speak for yourself!
Someone doesn’t know how dairy farms work…
So then explain why cows give milk. Do they just give milk for no reason and want nothing more for humans to get ice cream. Or do they get impregnated and their milk and child stolen?
Not engaging with the carnists but you nailed it.
I do.
Cows cannot consent to insemination by humans. And yet that’s what the industry runs on (as well as taking their babies from them so we can have the milk instead, causing the poor mothers severe emotional distress). It’s messed up.
it’s not rape. it’s a veterinary procedure
The two are not mutually exclusive
yes, they are.

No. Go vegan if you actually care about animals
For real, this has nothing to do with animal welfare. The cows still get forcefully impregnated every so often and have their calves taken away, just so you can drink their milk. Supermarkets are full of tasty plant milk variants, yet most people still see the need to let cows suffer instead.
Oat is GOAT
(The acronym, not the animal)
I am 100% not a vegan. I eat meat and cheese and eggs and pretty much all animal products. So hear me when I say I regularly grab oat milk when I’m at the store.
It’s not just the best milk substitute, it is better than regular milk.
I evaluate basically all my food with what I call “hotdog math”. my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.
Cow milk is usually only cheaper because of subsidies, otherwise it would be much more expensive.
I don’t know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale
Imagine believing that carnists profiting from torture, murder, and environmental destruction give a shit about happier cows.
My wife’s cousins dairy farm has one of these robots. It’s like a big roomba that dispenses hay. The cows love that machine lol. He also has an automated cow hugger and cows walk up to get squeezed by this machine. It’s pretty cool.
We take your milk and your child, here is a robot that hugs you.
Okay, I joked in another comment, but I have to know more about this cow-hugging machine!
Wtf why do all the good jobs keep getting take by fucking robots.
I don’t want to dick with excel sheets, pay me to hug cows.
Best I can do is pay you to dick cows?
Cows are big and will accidentally kick you breaking ribs, or otherwise injure you. They are mostly safe, but there is a reason farming is one of the most dangerous jobs.
Oof owchie my ribs
There’s a phone near me and they have two rotating brushes. They look like the things that wash your car in a drive in car wash, except with bristles rather than floppy mops.
Sounds like paradise!!! \s \s \s jfc.
You’re right. It’s horrible and evil and I should disavow both my wife and her cousin for participating in such a thing and burn the entire thing down and free the cows 🤡
Awesome. Please do that.
No need to live between selfish people.
Haha you extremists are wild.
You are even worse bud.
There have been robots for cows for years. It‘s the SHIT PUSHER ROBOT. It‘s pushing away the straw and shit all the day. That’s useful automation imho.
Edit: And a feeding machine is know for years as well. Same with the hugging brushes.
Call it a „robot“ and it gives you an article in the IEEE magazine and promotes your startup. What a shit show.
Editedit: Ok, read the article. It’s more a „Hey look how much automation is in a cow barn already“
The life of a cow becomes much more free and comfortable. Somehow it reminds me of the life of a human working and living in a modern society. (Not sure, if we recognize the fences around us and still call it freedom)
I was skeptical - really skeptical. Then I read the article and cheered. Thank you.
Absolutely fascinating and promising. Thanks for sharing. Any downvoters clearly didn’t read the article.
I don’t know. You tell me, headline.
That’s not its job. It’s supposed to grab you. And hug you. Like a cow…
