Let's talk dairy. The cows don't die to produce milk, right? What's the problem? Dairy cows only produce milk because they are forcibly impregnated over and over. Each time their baby is taken from them before they get a chance to nurse. Cows are intelligent and social animals and dedicated mothers, much like humans, and they mourn the loss of each baby. Cows are abused and treated like machines. If the calf is female, she is doomed to a life of the same suffering. If the calf is male, the baby is killed; deemed a waste product and sold for veal. Once a cow's milk production slows, she is brutally killed. If you consume an animal's milk, their blood is on your hands.

Dairy cows endure a cycle of pregnancy and milking that lasts for 4–7 years. After that time, they are exhausted and barely able to carry on. They are sent to slaughter and used for cheap meats, burgers, and pet food. Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do—to nourish their young—but calves on dairy farms are taken away from their mothers after a short time and so many male calves are considered as waste and have to die. Do you really want to support this? Next time, try plant milk instead of cow's milk. It tastes different, but you get used to it quickly.

It doesn't matter if the entrapped animal had a great live. Killing an animal so you can eat it’s corpse or wear its skin is wrong.
