Now tell the not romanticized portion, where people get to know the average cow is not friendly nor playful towards humans.
Whether we treat animals fairly shouldn't depend on whether they're friendly or playful towards humans.
Still, every cow looks curious and investigative. And even if they're skittish, they're still much more trusting towards humans than we deserve. If the cow understood what was really happening, it would be horrified of the monsters that humans are towards cows.
Unsure if I fully agree. On one side, yeah cows are exploited. But they get a safe life, with medicine and treatment for illness and physical issues (hooves). Access to food without concern of predators, safe place to sleep and give birth.
Cows are one of the most successful animals in the world because they're a resource for humans. They are not allowed to go extinct.
I'd say humans are by far the best thing that happened to any domesticated animal.
this is the exact same argument made to keep slaves.
