If he's the one popping out calves then she made the right choice.
Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️
Maybe its just cause I'm high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I'm thinking about finding a rancher friend.
There's a dairy farm somewhat close to me that let's you pet the cows and watch them get milked. It's pretty cool.
I’d prefer it if the cows petted me and watched me get milked
There's conventions for that, you just need to bring your own costume.
yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️
there's gotta be something nice to look at instead!
You're upset some people don't find it cute to separate baby cows from their mothers immediately following birth?
Have you heard a mother cow screaming for their newborn before?
This is just like saying theres no problem with exotic animal zoos.
When animals are treated as property and a means to make money, inhumane things happen. Then those people pretend they didnt happen, and put the animal bits in nice packages that have pictures of happy animals in fields on them.
People need to stop eating meat and start eating vegans instead.
And when he kills them for profit, you can play with their organs, making puppets out of Every. Single. One.
That’s not profitable.
Sounds like some weird fantasy of yours.
Cattle farming isn't profitable?
IDK what cattle mutilation shit you’re into.
Just what do you think happens to these animals?
Can confirm, worked in a cow organ puppet factory.
Were they profitable?
Hobbies aren't supposed to be profitable
Weirdo
That is the point
Damn.
That farmer must have legs for days to have to many calves.
Maybe you being busy with birthing 15 calves in the last 48 hours is the reason why dating a rancher is a hassle?
If you can't handle a partner being largely busy for brief periods, that's a you problem.
Who wants to pet calves?
Someone that doesn't know the mamma has her head down and is contemplating murdering their dumbass.
Friendly reminder that cows are one of the five most lethal mammals (mostly due to there being LOTs of cows, but meh)
Not in terms off K:D ratio
Sure, when you've got the societal and material advantage. Go 1v1 a cow out in a field and you might change your mind. Those things are up to 2,000 pounds of brick shithouse. You might not kill one if you hit it with your car.
Psychopaths who don't care that the calves are immediately being separated from their mothers for slaughter and for higher milk production.
Trauma all around.
Fake and not gay enough. Separating calves from their moms reduces, not increases, milk production.
It has even been proven that cows have their clique and just their company affects how much they produce.
It's higher milk production when the milk that would've gone to the calf goes to people. I think that's easy enough to understand and uncontroversial to say.
If he's a rancher, this is a beef herd.
Are they the highland variant?
"heeland coo"
The only women who appreciate being confronted with the consequences of their animal consumption are vegans, and vegans hate ranchers.
Have you ever met a woman IRL?
I just traumatized 15 mothers why won't she date me is a hell of a take
His cows gave birth. What do you mean traumatized?
The person you’re responding to is an aggressive vegan reactionary.
They abuse their cat or smth I can’t keep up with the vegan drama these days
vegan reactionary
Committing the unconscionable crime of knowing where steak comes from.
They abuse their cat
Willing to bet that cat lives 6x longer than those calves.
No they committed the social faux pa of being a gigantic douche bag.
Being a dick to people doesn’t change them.
Pretty please don't separate the newborn from it's mom right after birth only to kill it later and confine the mom in a tiny space and forcibly milk her dry.
To be fair, birth is pretty traumatizing, but this guy didn't cause it!
Maybe you should look into a bit of what ranchers actually do...
I've worked on ranches and farms, and I do understand the arguments against meat farming etc. but a rancher helping cows give birth is not the issue
Well this post is 5 years old, and there aren't newer posts since 2021 since poster passed away, so I dont know for sure they are abusing animals, but the idea is that calves are separated from their mothers within the first few days usually. Its a traumatic experience for the baby and the mother.
The cow was forcibly impregnated which is pretty rough but thats a different issue.
She probably dumped him for a reason. I doubt the calves are going to make up for his misogyny and liberal use of the hard r.
