But is the cow you’re drinking milk from living a decent, happy life? What about the male calves that are born as a result of reproducing milk cows? What happens to them?

In this sense, animals also would die anyways, so eating meat is sometimes justified aswell (would you eat a cow that would die soon anyway or just let it suffer a natural death?)

You can’t have mass milk products without killing many calf. I use lots of cow cheese but you need to know all process to have milk and cheese needs to kill calfs, as cow stop usual doing milk after something like a year, after a few month of reduced milk production.

Um, you should maybe look up, why cows give milk in the first place? It’s not like it’s an animal that just randomly produces milk…little hint: why do human mothers produce milk when they gave birth, but don’t do it randomly their whole life 🤔

As a Vegetarian I disagree. We’re the most schizophrenic when it comes to animal welfare. No meat as we don’t want to kill for our food, but milk and cheese is only possible when we kill calves and eggs are only possible when we shredder 50% of the baby chicks. Yes, alternatives are starting to pop up, but they are still in the minority here. If it’s not about animal welfare, but sustainability Vegans also win, because dairy is pretty bad in this aspect too.
