      If you can’t tell the difference between BUTTER and wannbe butter, you’re sad. And what is wrong with dairy?

      If heffers don’t get milked they can get mastitis and can be fatal to cows if not properly treated too

        Besides being catastrophic for the environment, a fucking shitton, actually. Maybe if you actually cared about cows’ quality of life, you wouldn’t selectively breed them to overproduce milk so that you’re “forced” to milk them, you wouldn’t take their child away from them that would otherwise drink the milk, and you wouldn’t forcibly impregnate them on a rape rack in order to get them to produce milk. (Also, it’s “heifer”, not “heffer”, just like it’s “margarine”, not “mardrine”.)

            What are we going to do with all of these animals that we bred through artificial insemination that just keep spontaneously appearing, I wonder.

                  Thank you. I still have no idea why people make the ridiculous argument of “Well what will we do with all the living ones?” It’s either what you said, or they think there’s going to be an entire multi-billion-dollar industry supporting tens of thousands of cows for each individual of the last remaining non-vegans. It’s so disingenuous that they’ve either never thought it through or actually just don’t care.

                  It’s frustrating how arguments supporting the overwhelming status quo don’t need to hold up to scrutiny at all. Then the ones speaking out against it have mountains of credible data and airtight logical arguments that can just be dismissed out-of-hand by complete, nonsensical bullshit, and the general public will lap it up.

                    💯carnists make up things on the fly while vegans are expected to have numerous studies on the ready, speak well and be “polite”.

                    Even then society will gladly side with the Carnist.
