Now tell the not romanticized portion, where people get to know the average cow is not friendly nor playful towards humans.
Whether we treat animals fairly shouldn't depend on whether they're friendly or playful towards humans.
Still, every cow looks curious and investigative. And even if they're skittish, they're still much more trusting towards humans than we deserve. If the cow understood what was really happening, it would be horrified of the monsters that humans are towards cows.
Now please stop blaming yourself and your entire species for existing.
Are we supposed to lay on the ground and die because we require animal products to live?
Let's stop being stupid or coy and assume we either eat meat and animal products and are willing to pay the moral and material price for it or want to whitewash our conscience by making a life of blaming others for just being alive.
Yes I totally agree, we can be humane to animals and still eat them
