    My wife’s cousins dairy farm has one of these robots. It’s like a big roomba that dispenses hay. The cows love that machine lol. He also has an automated cow hugger and cows walk up to get squeezed by this machine. It’s pretty cool.

      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.

      For real, this has nothing to do with animal welfare. The cows still get forcefully impregnated every so often and have their calves taken away, just so you can drink their milk. Supermarkets are full of tasty plant milk variants, yet most people still see the need to let cows suffer instead.
