I don't wish to be impolite, and thank you, Kyna, for starting the thread, but it looks an advertisment for the Milk Marketing Board!
The reality of milk production is much harsher. Some cows never see the light of day (the ones in intensives), although many do get in the fields. All cows are forced to have calves every year of their "working" lives, and then killed when no longer productive. Almost all male calves are killed once they put on some weight, as they do not supply milk. The few males kept for artificial insemination are often to subjected to unpleasant procedures involving electric stimulation on a machine to obtain the semen: https://www.facebook.com/animalcrueltyno...3948634964
I live in the country and have actually seen these procedures, which are standard on most farms.
I could continue, but will refrain from saying any more. Thank you, Kyna, for drawing our attention to the video. Please do not allow my comments to discourage you from posting. I am only commenting on the fate of cows, calves and bulls.
Your videos are often very interesting. I look forward to your next posts. Every best wish to you!
