Plus when the mother cow is ready for the calf to wean, she will often kick, headbutt or even bite the calf to chase it away from her udders. It's safer for the cow and calf this way.
They are bringing up the fact that this is dairy farming, but it isn't.the cows don't have to have babies in order for them to give milk, there is a type of feed with the right exact hormones for them to produce milk.
I know that sometimes vegans are stupid and they bring up bad points but there are still a lot of horrible things that happen at dairy farms or CAFOs. Like theres a reason there are federal laws against filming in some slaughterhouses. Though yes these vegans were being quite dum

Thank you!! I've worked in local butcher shops for a few years and go to the University of Guelph (hugely agricultural and environmental), and so many people are blithely unaware of how farming actually works.
Skepticism, it works. It doesn't just protect you from being taken advantage of, scammed and/or swindled... it also keeps you from hanging your ass out and looking like a complete and utter douche nozzle asshat.
The thing is, ideology with an agenda is one thing, an ideology that furthers their agenda with falsehoods, outright lies and a lack of critical thinking, is a whole other thing entirely.
That is the sort of bullshitery that desperately needs to be forcefully drug out into the light, kicking and screaming if need be, to be exposed for all to see.
