We take the Milk intended for Baby Cows

I am a big consumer of milk myself, so what I am saying here also applies to me.

The Cow is one of the most successful species we have domesticated. The Horse has also been important, and the Pig, and the Chicken - but the Cow gives us milk, and also meat.

People and Cows are both Mammals. We feed our young, from milk produced by the mother. Our first emotional bonding occurs at the breast of our mother.

But baby cows are treated differently - they are often killed, soon after birth. Or they are fed milk substitutes, and raised for their meat.

Our attitude towards our domesticated animals and plants (with the exception of our pets) is one of our strangest characteristics. We use them as we please - with only the slightest feelings of guilt.
