Calves in the dairy industry are separated from their mothers immediately after being born. This makes it easier for farmers to collect milk. Male calves are killed within weeks and female calves are kept in hutches so small they can barely move.
>>5136447sorry but it is absolutely necessary to slaughter 100s of millions of livestock a year so amerifats can shove a dog/cat in a cage for 12 hours straight while they work at walmart
>oh no, they hurt a cows feelings, i think. maybe. we’re not sure if the cow even has real feelings or just instincts that look like them. So what? Buy from a farmer that doesn’t whiny fag. moralizing over livestock is telescope philantropy at its most useless, degenerate and pseudointellectualim sure you will now claim to be saving the world with strict adhesion to an arbitrary and retarded ideology
>>5136448>people i dont like exist in my imagination. billions must starve. Nice 20th century dictator LARP
>>5136447Clever, isn't it?
>>5136447Hindu threadCows are such worthless and pathetic animals its hard to care what happens to them. I have seen farmers kill them in the middle of the field and the rest of the herd watches. They don’t fight back and if he keeps it quiet they don’t run either. You like to imagine these dairy cows undergo deep emotional trauma but its probably just automated offspring defense instincts that evolved before complex emotions and share the same outward signaling (meant to warn the rest of the herd). Even insects try to stay near offspring and make noises over it if they’re a species that evolved to. If any animal is just a decently advanced automaton, a walking p-zombie robotically fulfilling functions you intuit as requiring consciousness (but dont require it at all), its the cow. Chickens too, but, chickens are cannibals so its hard to say if they’re NPCs or atomized psychopaths in a flock of convenience, a union of feathered egoists.
>>5136447Factory farms are the greatest proof of humanity's evil.
Listen here OP, I get it. Cows are cute and go moo, not many animals like that. They have a dumb, lumbering charm. In an ideal world, I'd be with ya, but we're not. I am only exagerating a tad when I say my diet is 90% Rotini, Gemelli and some good sauce to go with it. Can't beat homemade bread either for that matter. I could be a vegitarian today if I wanted to, but I'm not. You know why? Good fucking cheese, that's why.I want my Mozzarella and my Gorgonzola. I want whole milk in my coffee and tea when chasing down a nice Ciabatta slice with Mascapone spread. You know what's good in soup that ain't red wine? Cream. Now if that means a calf is not gonna get a tit to suck that's just how the world works. Sucks to be you, but I ain't you little cow. I'm a 25 year old with house loan to pay off, it's not my fucking problem.
>>5136447Is it a crime to enjoy a nice succulent veal milanese?
>>5136450>we
>>5136447>Male calves are killed within weeksAnd the few that aren't for breeding purposes often become very dangerous animals relative to their beef industry peers. Due to having been raised by humans they do not distinguish between people and cows.t. rancher
in some farms. Other farms don't do this.
>>5136447and?
>>5136590>I could be a vegitarian today if I wanted to, but I'm not. You know why? Good fucking cheese, that's why.not op, but you could always do "vegetarian, but cheese". Whatever your reason for vegetarian may be, surely it's still a net positive to be veg with one exception. The only reason not to is if you take pride in the label, or are doing it mostly to tell people that you're a vegetarian.It doesn't sound like this is something you're actually interested in though lol. I'm not vegetarian either but I've got a lot of friends who are
>>5136590Cheese is vegetarian. Vegetarians just skip the actual meat but consume dairy and eggs. You're thinking of vegans
>>5136447This is why I eat beans
>>5136792When I was shopping at King Soopers last week, the section with plant-based cheese was labeled “VEGETARIAN”. Vegans don’t want anything that isn’t a plant to be considered vegetarian.
>>5136695Farms that don’t separate them immediately still separate them eventually.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow-calf_separation
>>5137093So? Breeders also separate puppies from their mothers.
>>5137093And if you were a cow you imagine you’d be unhappy about it but these dumb fucking things will watch wolves eat their siblings and it takes a miracle for any to do anything about it. Very few, almost none, have souls and those that do are quickly released from being a cow. When a calf is separated neither cares. They are robots acting out an instinct that goes back to fish. What little self they have is the bare minimum to function.
>>5138651ironically something with more salient consequences for us and dogsearly separations are more uncertain, neurotic, annoying, and risky to be around. mother dogs even teach their kids not to bark constantly. with cows its… a cow, either way.
>>5136451if you don't know that archetype you haven't seen shit
>>5136792how is egg not meat, thats like saying blood isnt "meat", which only why are vegetarians arent drinking blood like mongolians
all i can say is an angry bull killed me in project zomboid when i was only trying to pet it, so fuck cows
>>5138767the eggs you eat are unfertilized and can never turn into a living creature
>>5138767There are different kinds of voluntary dietary restrictions that fall under the umbrella of "Vegetarian." Some of these include meat and animal byproduct that aren't considered meat by religious standards (its why you can eat fish during lent, Jesus doesn't count fish as meat). Its those same rules that made a Whale, despite everyone knowing it was a warm blooded air breathing mammal, a fish. Hell even Hindu's do mental gymnastics to still consume butter but just clarifying the hell out of it.
>>5138883Buddhists also consider bivalves to be vegetarian, and so basically every 'vegetarian' dish in southeast asia contains oyster sauce.
>>5138767Hindu vegetarianism excludes eggs, which makes no sense since they equate animals to humans but it’s not illegal for human doctors take eggs from fertile women and use them to help infertile women get pregnant.
>>5138985Hinduism is several hundred cults of unironic brain damaged retards attempting to carry on a culture that was prescribed to them by their now absent overlords specifically to keep them retarded. Like adding a religious dimensions to feeding peasants slop.They are literally the deltas and epsilons from BNW. Enforcing vegan and near-vegan diets is always creating a biologically enforced caste system. only the wealthy part of society can afford to eat well enough to attain more than 90% brain development. The first generation is fine but each successive generation gets dumber except for those educated and rich enough to get around a religious obligation not to eat the exact food that is the sole reason we were able to evolve higher intelligence than an orangutan.
>>5138910It’s a very wise targeted exception. Bivalves provide exactly everything the human brain needs to reach the full size a persons genetics allow for.They are also so dumb they’re basically a plant with animal cells.
>>5136447Good, animals exist for us to control. The more suffering the better. It proves we are in control as the apex predator. The less suffering we inflict the more beta we are as a species.
>>5139045please kys before you shoot up a school or something
>>5139045the mogger>>5140329the mogged
>>5140329I hope you know i was being facetious
>>5136447Is the FBI going around all male calves are killed and all female calves are kept alive and tortured….? I’m sure many farms have their own way of doing it but the norm is just having the calves in a separate pasture… not making them live I Have No Mouth And Must Scream, wtf kind of insane fantasy world do you live in. Animals are treated better than humans IRL
>>5139045>The less suffering we inflict the more beta we are as a species.It's much harder to inflict less suffering than more, you faggot. Why are you even here? Just to shipost?
>>5136558>atomized psychopaths in a flock of convenience, a union of feathered egoists
>>5136695Sadly most do
