Or a brand from a hot iron
She's had her horns removed with a hot iron at a very young age as well
She was also likely taken from her mother shortly after birth, never to see her again.
yup, can't have the calf drink too much of that milk
Also need to raise the calf alone in a tiny plastic shelter for a few weeks so it can be butchered.
Yes some animals get all the luck.
And she'll get killed as soon as she stops lactating.
I have a cow. She's just a pet, we don't milk her and I don't eat beef.
That's wonderful and how it should be. I'm just assuming that the one in the photo isn't a pet, but maybe, who knows.
Don't let that stop these guys from cherry-picking worst-case scenarios.
It happens to literally every dairy cow
Clearly not, as meliaesc explains.
They literally said they didn't milk it which would make it not a dairy cow
Which scenario do you think is more representative of the average cow's life?
Not necessarily. It is possible to breed cows that do not grow horns.
Polled cattle are a thing.
Actually, as demonstrated daily by my kitties, scent is the 3FA after sight and sound. Doesn’t matter that they see it’s me and hear my voice. Sniff test it the final boss.
Unironically though, when I spent 16 hours hugging a puppy, my cats wanted nothing to do with me until I showered.
I mean that's high treason my man
16 h is too much for pussies
I think a lot of it depends on how you feel about random people milking you all day until you are food.
You mean my job? Pretty bad, but I need money so what am I going to do
Well I'm a dude so getting milked all day would be pretty enjoyable probably.
Definitely don't go find out what kind of life most build live. It ain't long and you ain't getting milked.
She has to give birth every year and has her child taken away likely to be slaughtered so that she can be hooked up to a machine that sucks all the milk meant for her kid.
Mmm milk.
Don’t forget ice cream. My favorite is hamburger flavor
Dude, they have ear tags and/or brands on their skin.
Nope just had her children stolen is constantly exploited for profit and will be killed years before her natural lifespan.
Time for burgers!!!
Why burger if friend shaped? Friendburger?
Mmmmm....friendburger
ITT: people making jokes about the horrible world we live in due to capitalism.
Vegans: no the only problem is animal exploitation
Who said capitalism isn't a problem? I don't see any comments claiming that.
Capitalism incentives the exploitation of humans and animals alike. It's possible to recognize that both are a problem.
Its much weirder when leftists unironically believe that "animals are just animals, making them suffer is fine because they are inferior to me", which is literally the supremacist thinking that racists and classists invoke to justify their mistreatment of other groups too.
