Hahaha in reality the cows are treated perfectly well! They're only forcibly impregnated for their entire lives to facilitate a constant cycle of lactation and seperated from their children at birth. Perfectly happy cows! Your milkshake is worth it! :D

Don't worry! Synthetic milk is right around the corner (within a couple of decades), soon we'll be able to save the cows. They'll get to retire to a farm somewhere and live happily ever after.

Synthetic milk already sort of exists. Perfect Day Foods uses some sort of fermentation process.

Cows can cry. Did you even know that? When they bellow and cry actual tears for weeks or months after their children are stolen from them, we can be pretty fucking certain they are not happy about it.

Cows are herd animals. Herd animals are more socially sophisticated than even we are. They feel very deeply. They experience empathy. Do you?

I feel like we need to begin this conversation by establishing that I can't talk to cows
