>>8454328I have to assume vegans have very little or no interaction with animals. We had a dairy cow when I was a child and nothing ill ever happened to it, she lived a fairly long life (was still alive when i left home) and was never cold in the winter or at risk of being attacked by predators.
What exactly would become of cows, should everyone become vegan tomorrow? Are they going to be liquidated? Let to roam free and utterly destroy the environment through trampling and overeating? Are the people who own them supposed to just continue caring for them as insanely expensive pets?
The same could apply to chickens, pigs, et-al but I use cows as the example because they do not give a fuck if you milk them and I cannot understand the idea that dairy products should be verboten. Dairy cows live in a state of almost symbiosis with humans and the one I knew seemed contended with that life. If you had the means to communicate and it had the sentience to reply I very much doubt any animal would say "i would rather spend months of every year pawing at the hardpack trying to find anything edible during the six hours a day the sun is up and then stand under a tree while it dips into single digit temperatures than have a human remove the milk from my udders that, by the way, i have no fucking means to remove myself and could die an incredibly painful death without assistance"
