Text understanding level one: "male baby calvesare either shot and killed immediately after birth , or sold for beef" Which means, surprisingly, A: killed after birth or B: sold for beef. There is no mention how old they are when killed for beef. But yeah, I am also really funny (not about killing and torturing as there's nothing funny about that obviously). Good luck with your "reading"!

She'll live a long happy life as a dairy cow. When she no longer produces every part of her body will be used in everything from medicines and medical research, food production, clothing, and on and on. Neither her life nor death will be a waste.

Her life matters to her. All these things you talk about do not justify taking that away from her without consent. If you care so much about keeping her happy and healthy, then murdering her should be off the table.

She's not self aware, she has no concept of her life.

Animal behaviorists and scientists beg to differ. Cows are amazingly sentient and intelligent. And you know that. This is why you take such pains to try and prove that you're treating her nicely before you murder her. If her life didn't matter, then treating her nicely wouldn't matter. But you want to have your cake amd eat it. You will allow her the value of her life up until the point it becomes to inconvenient to you and then you try to find ways to deny it.

Except she gets raped when inseminated, gets her baby and milk taken. Cycle repeats until she is no good for a dairy cow and gets killed when 5 years old. Cows can live to be 20. That would be the same if you get killed when you are 25 years old, but all worth it if leftover is used for clothing and food after a miserable life in a barn. Does it still sound good?

Raped 😂😂😂??? Have you ever seen a cow in heat? It'll break through a barn wall to mate. Mating with a bull can also cause severe internal and external injuries. Artificial insemination with a 1cm wide tube is in all ways safer and better.

I too grew up on a ranch. One photo likely isn't telling the full story. Everyone's barns look like that from time to time, but it still isn't awful.

Nope, sorry, still nothing what you said has justified to keep an intensely emotional animals, a sentientvbeing, capable of feeling joy, anger, fear, anxiety, and sadness. They cry for their calves for weeks and weeks. Anyways, that barn looks disgusting

Oh look, another vegan pushing their beliefs on others and perpetuating lies to further their agenda.

Oh look,a complete stranger who knows absolutely nothing about me, but projects his hate against me, because I don't share his views!No mate, I'm far from being vegan, I'm afraid you have zero clue btw what 'vegan' means,you just use it as a curse word when you feel like it. So, as mentioned I'm not a vegan, just hate to see unnecessary lifelong suffering, torture, killings that causes pain to animals with feelings and emotions. And btw ruins our planet too by rainforest deforestation, 70% of crops go to feed animals and not humans, livestock aggressively takes up more and more space: 80 percent of global agricultural land, while livestock products make up 18% of global calories. Now, that my friend is my agenda, and if writing it down in a comment probably seen by 3 people is 'pushing' for you, then yeah, I'm pushing it. All facts mate, what your cognitive dissonance can't handle just yet and paraphrasing it as lies.Still, the only lie I see here is you calling me a vegan.

Projecting hate? No my hate is reserved for what's truly evil. Why are you so intent on convincing.me you're not vegan? I'll happily admit you're not, but there's no denying your viewpoints and previous statements line up perfectly with many pro-vegan groups and agendas. There's nothing wrong with using animals for food, as long as they're treated humanely while they're alive. Chickens in cages all their lives, wrong. Dairy cattle being kept indoors during harsh winter months when we know they don't like the cold, not wrong. Also, by your own logic you should be happy dairy cows get slaughtered after they stop producing, so as to not continue to be a strain on grain production. Furthermore, your numbers are wildly misleading. About 85% of what goes into cow feed is undigestible by humans. They eat everything from crops that's left over after harvesting. And, according to the UN, only 13% of grain goes towards feeding the worldwide cattle population.

The question here is:why are you saying I am vegan?About a stranger you never met and know zero about?Epitome of projecting as it's not about me,but about you.One doesn't have to be vegan to see the utterly disgusting circumstances how farm animals are kept in industrial farming. If you think they are treated "humanly" would you keep your child the same way? The expression humane slaughter makes me sick, everyone knows there's nothing humane about it, or you wish to have that "humane" death? No, you still won't convince me it's a good thing to die at quarter of your life as dairy cows, or you want people be humanely finish their lives at 20? You may be surprised but not only cattle eat grains.Horses, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, camels, chiken, turkey, goose and the list goes on and on, so pump your numbers higher. Maybe check on the fact about deforestation in the amazon for soy, and why only 20% goes to humans. Because literally all farm animals are fed with it.

And I wasn't even mentioning how industrial farming is contributing to methane emission, how much antibiotics enter the food chain from farm animals also causing antibiotic resistance that means now common illnesses will be incurable. And water,or not having enough water is one of biggest issues on earth nowadays. And it is the meat industry that consumes the most of it within our agriculture. But yeah,for you the most important question is if someone is vegan or not.....
