She was also likely taken from her mother shortly after birth, never to see her again.

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

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Clearly not, as meliaesc explains.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

They literally said they didn't milk it which would make it not a dairy cow

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Which scenario do you think is more representative of the average cow's life?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yes some animals get all the luck.

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.
