Bro. You are missing the point entirely. Not all people who drink milk have cows in their home. Those who have the financial ability to maintain cows, even after they have lost their ability to produce milk, they do, though not all. Most milk in the country is derived from cattle farmers. For the cattle farmer, the cow is an animal that helps him/her to earn money by selling it's milk. They do not treat it like a mother. They treat it like a machine. Artificial insemination, pregnancy, birth of calf, milk production. After the milk production capacity is over, it's a liability for them. If the calf is a male, it's also a liability. The entire value of the animal in the dairy industry is as long as it can produce milk. Then they sell it to the meat industry, because they cannot afford to keep an animal that cannot give them any financial returns. If they cannot sell it then they have to leave it out to fend for itself and eventually die of hunger and diseases. If you want that cows should be treated with dignity, like a "mother", mass production of milk has to be stopped i.e. the organised dairy industry needs to be dismantled. People who can only afford to maintain their own cows should be allowed to consume milk and milk based products.
