We need to cancel the meat and dairy industry 

Cows mostly feel physical pain and very little emotional pain. Buffalos and Zebras, in great flock numbers, which are supposedly more intelligent than Cows, would just stay unfazed,  if they saw one of their own getting eaten or attacked by a lion.

 

Milking is actually good as it prevents udder injuries. And great food product for US.

 

 If a cow, who was in the middle of her lactation and producing eight gallons of milk per day, went for a significant time without being milked, it could cause bruising, udder injury, sickness and, if it continued, could result in death (this would take many consecutive days without milking).

 

Do they look unhappy here:

You do realize they are enslaving and raping them in order to make them produce milk, they take away their children and kill them. Watch videos about that and tell me that's not physical and mental suffering.

 

When milking cows are no longer producing milk, they kill them. 

 

Educate yourself before commenting misinformation and dairy industry propaganda please.

 

What's next, you're going to show me a 1950's ad/commercial about doctors promoting smoking as a healthy habit?  Please...

Enslaving and raping? They literally just eat grass all the time. And how does sex work in nature? Your comment is hilarious.

And I was just talking milk production, even though I eat meat I feel sorry for the animals that get slaughtered.

 

I would 100% oppose the ban of use of cow's milk in a hypothetically vegan country for the rightful reason mentioned in my post above.

 

They are still better off with us than with nasty hyenas and other wild animals who rip out the skin and organs of their prey for hours while those animals are alive and enduring the pain.

You’re right. This looks like a dream for a cow. Such great treatment.

It’s almost like there’s a reason that calves drink their milk.

Did you think this made your advocacy for physical torture of livestock better?

Girl read it again. Cows don't care about their babies being taken from them. I do not like the slaughter of animals for food even though I do consume meat. I wish we could just plant meet artificially somehow.

They have experience with a very large number of cow mothers.

Even when calves are NOT taken away they still need milking.

Hilarious is your ignorance about this topic. Please stop embarrassing yourself. You're not proving anything but your lack of knowledge and empathy.

This is clearly some sort of huge industrial factory farm, where the cows are indoors in feed lots. Otherwise you'd never get 18,000 cows killed at one time without dropping a nuclear bomb on the countryside. In the area where I grew up, cows were feeding on grass and the average herd size was probably no more than about 400 cows.

 

You don't need to be a genius to figure out that this farm wasn't like that and it's quite possible that most of the factory farmed cows rarely see fresh grass, let alone get to eat it all day long.

How is that equivalent to enslaving? A cow's life is more or less the same in and outside the farm before they stop producing milk.

Lol? What do you think that happens with calves and cows that can't produce anymore? They go foster and retirement homes?

This farm must be huge to hold 18k cows

There is a huge difference here. Cows living in herds and grazing in fields, live a life that quite closely resembles the life of their pre domesticated ancestors, while cows that are living in holding pens and feed lots are forced to live in a very unnatural environment.

 

The cows living in herds and grazing in fields, are more like prisoners on parole rather slaves, not completely free, but for most of their time they get to live in a natural environment. The cows in holding pens and feed lots are like prisoners living in an overcrowded prison, in substandard conditions, even though they committed no crime.

 

In this case, it appears that this farm used flammable insulation material, instead of non-flammable insulation, probably because it was a few cents cheaper, so thousands of cows died.

 

Quote

The sheriff also stated his initial assessment was the insulation catching fire is what caused the fire to spread.

Ever prisoners have rights and prisons should conform to basic safety standards, so maybe some of the other posters in this thread made some points. Perhaps the cows living in these factory farms are more like slaves.

 

It's worth mentioning that most cows in these factory farms are fed some sort of grain feed, and one of the reasons this is done, is because the US government spends billions of dollars every year on subsidies for corn and wheat, so these have become more attractive cattle feed options.

 

The US taxpayer is literally subsidising cruelty to animals and in this instance, Americans are subsidising the burning of 18,000 cows trapped in their holding pens.
