    No, because a cow has to be impregnated and their baby is taken away (and either killed (male) or is also going to be a milk cow (female)) just for you having some pleasure.

      I get that, which is why I can’t wait for lab-grown meat to take off so that I can finally eat the things I enjoy guilt-free. I’ll be among the first to buy it the moment it’s at the grocery store. Hopefully lab-grown cheese comes next. Vegan “cheez” is awful.

        Vegan supermarket cheese is awful, but if you can find a cashew cheese they’re really good. My go to are the more upmarket supermarkets.

      I agree but vegan cheese/milk just doesn’t cut it. I’m vegetarian but until they manage to emulate the taste better I make a concession for cheese.

        In other words “I support cruelty against animals because of my taste buds, fully knowing what that animal cruelty contains”

          Yes, but you have to draw a line somewhere. The crops you eat have pesticides on, animals are trapped and killed to keep the places you eat and live clean.

      Knowing humans, it’s either that or extinction. I think cows did a pretty smart move, evolutionairywise. That said, it is time for change.

        The breeds abused for milk are like those dogs which can’t breath. What is your stance on dogs who cant breath or run, do we need to breed them to avoid their extinction?
