Dating perks

If he's the one popping out calves then she made the right choice.

Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️

Maybe its just cause I'm high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I'm thinking about finding a rancher friend.

Only after they've been washed off. Or dry cleaned. Or whatever, IDK, I'm from Chicago.
- We dry clean them. Otherwise they shrink.
- IDK, I'm from Chicago
  So you're more familiar with the end stage of the process.
- The moms lick them clean after birth, and if you’re expecting any animal to be clean I got bad news for ya.
  Bonus fun fact the cows tend to eat the afterbirth as well. Source grew up on a farm/ranch, if you want gross learn about prolapse. Guess who had skinny arms as a teenager and got to help keep cows alive till the vet came and had two thumbs? This guy… not sure I should be proud of what I had to do but yeah cows is expensive.
There's a dairy farm somewhat close to me that let's you pet the cows and watch them get milked. It's pretty cool.
- I’d prefer it if the cows petted me and watched me get milked
- Cows don't make extra milk, you have to take their baby's from them and then take that milk.
  Cows need to be impregnated constantly to keep milk flow.
  Its possible theres an ethical dairy farm but ive yet to see one.
I should have heeded your warning. I swear man, the people on this website can be some of the least fun people on the internet on a pretty regular basis.
- I hear wholesomememes is posting new content again, reddit is calling you.
yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️
there's gotta be something nice to look at instead!
- You're upset some people don't find it cute to separate baby cows from their mothers immediately following birth?
  Have you heard a mother cow screaming for their newborn before?
  This is just like saying theres no problem with exotic animal zoos.
  When animals are treated as property and a means to make money, inhumane things happen. Then those people pretend they didnt happen, and put the animal bits in nice packages that have pictures of happy animals in fields on them.
They are also delicious.
- After a couple of week, maybe but not immediately.

Damn.

That farmer must have legs for days to have so many calves.

Maybe you being busy with birthing 15 calves in the last 48 hours is the reason why dating a rancher is a hassle?

If you can't handle a partner being largely busy for brief periods, that's a you problem.

Who wants to pet calves?

Someone that doesn't know the mamma has her head down and is contemplating murdering their dumbass.
- Friendly reminder that cows are one of the five most lethal mammals (mostly due to there being LOTs of cows, but meh)
Are they the highland variant?
- "heeland coo"
I'll have you know that my calves are strong and muscular and the nicest feature on my body and everyone is welcome to pet them. You know you want to.
Psychopaths who don't care that the calves are immediately being separated from their mothers for slaughter and for higher milk production.
Trauma all around.
- Fake and not gay enough. Separating calves from their moms reduces, not increases, milk production.
  It has even been proven that cows have their clique and just their company affects how much they produce.
- If he's a rancher, this is a beef herd.

Sorry, gotta lock it. The drama is intensifying.

The only women who appreciate being confronted with the consequences of their animal consumption are vegans, and vegans hate ranchers.

Have you ever met a woman IRL?
sees cute calves*
"Oh no the horrific consequences of my actions"
- That's exactly what someone who understands where that calf comes from and the life it is going to have thinks. Do you look at photos of child slaves and think, "Awww, they're so cute!"

Don't play with your food

Ka-ching.

Eat them.

Ka-ching.

Eat them when they're raw.

Ka-ching.

We always ate them.

Ka-ching.

Juicy.

Ka-ching.

Give me the knife.

I just traumatized 15 mothers why won't she date me is a hell of a take

His cows gave birth. What do you mean traumatized?
- To be fair, birth is pretty traumatizing, but this guy didn't cause it!
- The person you’re responding to is an aggressive vegan reactionary.
  They abuse their cat or smth I can’t keep up with the vegan drama these days
- Well this post is 5 years old, and there aren't newer posts since 2021 since poster passed away, so I dont know for sure they are abusing animals, but the idea is that calves are separated from their mothers within the first few days usually. Its a traumatic experience for the baby and the mother.
  The cow was forcibly impregnated which is pretty rough but thats a different issue.
- Milk is murder.

And when he kills them for profit, you can play with their organs, making puppets out of Every. Single. One.

That’s not profitable.
Sounds like some weird fantasy of yours.
- Cattle farming isn't profitable?
Weirdo
- That is the point
Lol meat puppets....

She probably dumped him for a reason. I doubt the calves are going to make up for his misogyny and liberal use of the hard r.

Dude.
- Yea I'm definitely being a bit of a dick. I'm trying to make a joke but I'll be the first to admit it didn't come off as very funny.
