It's not natural for any mammal to keep producing milk. So it's unlikely that the cow had a "sweet and free life".
Cows are forcefully inseminated and once born their calves are taken away.
How would you feel if someone kept you in a Matrix-like farm to harvest energy or protein from you?
- thehappypm 5y agoI went to a dairy farm recently, the cows were free-range but it was such a gross environment, they were covered in flies and mud. Wild animals don't look like that, I've seen buffalo in national parks and they don't look half as decrepit as dairy cows.

I hunt animals across the US, and I can assure you that flies and mud is the LEAST of the problems wild animals have to deal with. A particularly revolting example: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjz-2018-0140#.W9tXqRNKgWo https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjz-2018-0140#.W9tXqRN... A study published in the Canadian Journal of Zoology in 2018 found that from 2014 to 2016, 70 percent of moose calves in west-central Maine and northern New Hampshire died of emaciation by winter tick infestation. On average, each animal hosted 47,371 ticks.
- Shadonototro 5y agowhat about bacterias you create in lab, why can't they enjoy an as sweet and as free life as the cow i get my milk from? bacterias are same kind of creatures as cows oh and what's the point of life if everything is lab made and if we all live in a spaceship doing nothing but trying to reverse engineer life and reimplement everything in a lab as pointless as everything else, including what i do
