Even with meat cows, the average farmer pays for an outside stud, who’s some really elite show animal that fucks all day, and that it is hoped will generate really fast growing, tasty offspring.
If you don’t do that, either you’re ranching wrong, or you own the stud and rent it to other people.
If this was a use of Cunningham’s law, it was very well done. It really read like someone regurgitating all the stuff the animal farming industry can’t legally say (because it’s false) but implies really hard in advertising.
and “killing the baby”, you mean like later in life to eat?
At least in the Netherlands, the species of dairy cows are focused on dairy. If a bull is born it is raised for about half a year, then slaughtered and most often the meat is exported since calf meat isn’t popular here.
At that point they are basically still babies, or at least the meat is called “calf meat”.
Not milking a dairy cow, can cause a lot of problems. A dairy cow will produce about 8 gallons or 30 litres a day. Adding to the problem of not milking is the missing calf, as they are normally kept separately to ensure higher milk yields.
If you stop milking this cow altogether, milk production will continue until the pressure starts to build up. This process normally starts a dry up phase, which will prevent the cow from producing more milk.
Because of modern breeding practices, it’s impossible for dairy cows to dry up naturally in a high production phase before facing serious problems. As, extending this phase increase the milk output of a cow, making it more profitable to keep this state as long as possible.
For those cows, stopping to milk them will cause the udder to increase is size until it can not expand any further. This cow will be in serious pain at this point. Caused by the enormous size of the udder it will also be in the way of everyday activities, preventing the cow from properly standing, sitting or laying.
If pressure still isn’t released then the udder can rupture or get infected. Ultimately leading to the death of the cow, if she is not treated and pressure is released.
A lot of baby cows are just straight up kidnapped from mom and killed. No way around that. Some are raised to adulthood, but on most dairy operations the kidnapping still happens even then, otherwise the calf ends up drinking the farmer’s ‘product’ and cutting into profits. Look up footage of a calf being taken from its mom in this process. Absolutely fucking devastating.
From personal observation, non-meat farm animals are lean, sinewy and taste like shit. I’m not actually sure what they do with the calves but it’s not growing them as normal meat cows.
Also, how does eating the corpse make killing more (or less) okay?
Rape the cow and kill the baby? Lol what planet are you on? Most farms have a bull… and “killing the baby”, you mean like later in life to eat?
If you don’t milk them they die? No… They stop producing milk
This is completely false. Most dairy cows are artificially inseminated.

In the US maybe, none of the ones I’ve been to

Approximately 74% of pregnancies on US dairy farms are attributable to artificial insemination USDA, 2014
Ah yes, the US is the shining pinnacle of the world
Most of Dominion has been filmed in Australia, profits always come before welbeing in any country.
Did you just want to bingo falsehoods? Or did you want to provoke people into providing links for every claim? Either way, you succeeded I guess.

Very true, as long as they have not been pregnant we don’t need to milk them.

Some people just shoot the messenger, downvoting things they’d prefer to not be true 🤷
No doubt, especially about vegan stuff. People get very defensive about it, it’s wild
The denial runs deep
The problem is that one side is running on facts, the other side is running on "nuh-uh I like things the way they are"s
