It's especially crazy when something like 65% of humanity is lactose intolerant. No we don't need to steal milk from cows to live we are no way close to a parasite species to them.
What's funny is that almost any other kind of milk is considered gross and unfit to drink: dog milk, cat milk, pig milk, horse milk, etc. That's true even for human milk! (Unless, of course, you're a baby.)
You will pry milk from my cold, hypercalcemic hands
I have two words for you: ice cream.
I rest my case.
Your sensory taste pleasure vs a living beings suffering. I know which I value more and apparently which you do. That's not an argument it's like defending rape by saying it brings you pleasure completely irrelevant.
Having a discussion about milk.
Someone brings up rape.
😳
There's actually a direct connection between milk production and rape. They have to artificially inseminate the cows to make them pregnant so that they keep producing milk. Cows are unable to consent to this.
artificial insemination is a certificate procedure, not a sex crime
Oh I completely understand that and I have a big issue with it.
That’s not what was brought up though.
They brought up the subject of a human raping another human.
The point was that doing something because it feels good doesn't mean that it's right.
You've never had Ben and Jerry's dairy-free ice creams? Or even just blended a lot of frozen fruit, a bit of sweetener, and just enough soy milk to get a treat with a roughly similar consistency? You're missing out.
