Are Dairy Robots the Secret to Happier Cows and More Efficient Farms?

In a dairy barn full of content cows, autonomous robots handle milking, feeding, and cleaning, allowing farmers more flexibility and improving cow welfare. With robots, cows produce more milk and more comfortable lives. Could this be the future of sustainable farming?

    No. Not raping and abusing them for selfish human wants makes cows happier. This is the stupidest shit ever.

      I lived on a dairy farm. They are not abused like cattle for beef production. And are you saying in-fertilization is rape? Because I mean. Normal Stud mounting is far worse than an arm up ones vagina.

          So then explain why cows give milk. Do they just give milk for no reason and want nothing more for humans to get ice cream. Or do they get impregnated and their milk and child stolen?

        Cows cannot consent to insemination by humans. And yet that’s what the industry runs on (as well as taking their babies from them so we can have the milk instead, causing the poor mothers severe emotional distress). It’s messed up.
