    Farming milk involves forcefully insemination cows to get pregnant so they produce milk in the first place. Often times in factory farming, their calves are taken away for “repurposing”. Combine that with the typical living conditions for the average milk cow and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine why people that have any idea of how the industry functions would be thrown off by this.

    Imagine human women being treated like this for the milk they produce so that you get to enjoy a cheap pleasure.

      We sell breast milk without forcefully inseminating women just fine, this leap of logic doesn’t make any sense. We treat cows as livestock because we view cows as animals not people, whether their treatment is cruel or not is a different irrelevant argument, but in Zootopia they’d just be seen as people and would have control over the supply so obviously cows wouldn’t be treated the same way in Zootopia as they are in real life. They’d only have to milk themselves and sell it just like when women sell breast milk in real life. If anything it’s even less weird and disturbing to think about than in real life.

      Tell me you know nothing about farming without actually saying it.

      Cows and other livestock are raised in farms to raise more cows anyway. Farmers don’t keep male cows around for fun, and cows aren’t pets. All non-breeding stock gets eaten.
