    The dairy industry has a strong lobby. There’s no reason to drink milk from a cow or any other non-human animal.

    Ask yourself “Am I a baby cow?” If the answer is “No”, then you shouldn’t be drinking cows’ milk.

        No, because that would imply that people have to drink milk…and they don’t.

            Taking someone’s milk without their consent is immoral, and cows can’t consent.

                How do you think they feel about being forcibly impregnated over and over and over again? And having their children taken away from them each time?

                  Cows don’t have agency. Also you just moved the goalposts from milking to forced pregnancy.

                    Cows don’t have agency.

                    Correct. That’s my point.

                    Also you just moved the goalposts from milking to forced pregnancy.

                    Cows don’t produce milk unless they’re kept pregnant. You can’t have one without the other.
