most humans cant drink milk, humans are the only species that drinks milk as adults, humans are the only species to drink another species' milk. milk involves raping and killing cows. F tier
raping cows? what?!?!?!
Mammals produce milk for their offspring. Dairy farmers have to keep their dairy cows pregnant and having babies constantly so they continue producing milk. This involves bulls inseminating the cows or more commonly non-consensual artificial insemination. Either could be considered rape. I guess an ethical farmer could only choose to opportunistically collect extra milk at times when their cows have given birth and after the calf has drank their fill, but that's not how it happens at large dairy farms.
i always thought domesticated cows were bred to produce milk all the time. i will search a little to know more about that
edit: i have searched and dairy farming indeed works the way the person i replied to said it worked. to add, that can be done so much to a single cow it can cause diseases and infections on the cow
edit2: i forgot to say that those things dont count as rape, since rape means forcing a person to do sexual things without their consent, so by letting a bull do the work i feel its completely fine. artificial insemination is a different story, and i just seriously dont want to think about it
