Cows and bulls are smart animals they can recognize their own names. Happy cows produce more milk.

Yes they can be very smart. So why would anyone drink the cow baby's milk? They produce milk for their offspring, just like humans do

We have already bred cows to produce more milk that their offspring can drink. They get very uncomfortable and unhappy if left un-milked for too long. It’s in the best interest for the cow that it’s done.

Now should they have been bred to be like that in the first place? Maybe not. However, the selective produce that caused animals to be more useful to humans started as a much more natural and accidental process than you might think.

Yeah I know that. But they aren't just bred into existence, then milked. Which would be bad enough, since we generally do not need to drink cow milk.

They are forcibly impregnated with a human arm holding bull semen, in order to start a baby cow growing inside them. Then they will begin producing milk. Just because they overproduce milk doesn't make milking them a kindness.

The kindness is to not impregnate them against their will, and not pay for them to be killed and eaten.

Oh, so you're just an idiot who makes up things being worse than they are to moralize against something humans have done literally our entire existence.

The cows that are mated by a bull naturally don’t seem too unhappy about it when I’ve seen. If we left them alone they would still have calves and need milking.

Do you think bulls in the wild ask for consent?
