a cow would eat you if it could

>>17351633
No she wouldn't.
https://faunafacts.com/cows/do-cows-make-good-pets/
But your dog or cat would. Yet eating a dog or cat (in the west) is considered more taboo than eating a cow.

>>17351625
In practice I am a vegan not because I like animals but because they disgust me and I want nothing to do with them.

>>17351625
Doesn't really make sense to not eat a cow but eat a pig, for example, but you do you.

I have had sex with many cows and can confirm they are just dumb animals.

>>17351643
>they disgust me and I want nothing to do with them
I mean a lot of humans are worse than a lot of animals. So if you're not also disgusted by humanity then it doesn't make sense.
>>17351646
I don't eat pigs for the same reason.

>>17351647
I can't be upset by this because its just a matter of time before you get a disease and there will be one less filth like you in the world.

>>17351625
The lord put cows on earth for us to eat so I have no problem eating beef. I mean if we don't eat them what will happen to cows? They'll just go to waste and eventually disappear.

>>17351643
>because they disgust me and I want nothing to do with them.
Yet you're not disgusted by humans even though "people" like >>17351647
Exist.

>>17351680
Your god is simply a figment of some delusional ancient men's imagination. Used as a tool to control the populace.

>>17351648
Are you OP? If you don't eat pigs for the same reasom, then you're not choosing to abstain from cows "specifically".

>>17351697
I specifically mentioned cows because I simply like them. They're good pure and harmless creatures. They're one of the few objective "good" on this miserable planet.

>>17351639
Imagine unironically citing websites like “faunafacts xD” to support an argument.

Anyway the animals I eat are not based on how cute they are and how I perceive their social intelligence to be.

>>17351625
>emotionally intelligent
Unlike humans. Maybe we should start eating them

>>17351639
cows are pretty hard to own as pets, but they are emotional and caring. I own two as pets. Ama

>>17351705
Unlike you who didn't cite any sources for his random shitpost.

>>17351692
You are underage and should not be using this website.

>>17351707
>Ama
Have u ever accidentally milked a bull?

>>17351707
>Ama
how much space do you have to care for them?

>>17351704
Well I do agree that cows are cool. Carry on.

>>17351713
Your god isn't real anon. And even if they were you would have to be morally bankrupt to actually worship a being as objectively evil and emotionally fragile as the God of Abraham.

>>17351715
no i would never own a bull--they can be pretty aggressive and mean. we did milk the female cow right when we got her a few years ago (with her male calf) but then she dried up and we never got her pregnant

>>17351716
five acres of flat land--some of it is forested and some is mountain pasture with grass they love. they like the woods in the summer when it's warm. they have a barn they *just* fit in at night, which is good b/c it keeps them warm

>>17351707
Do you have any pictures? Are they soft?

>>17351729
So u castrated the calf?

>>17351707
Did you rescue the cows? Do cows like to play fetch or other games?

>>17351745
Not him but yeah they do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CHHMBxC3dc

>>17351739
I do and i'll post some when i can--they are jerseys, and actually look like the one op posted. no, not very soft. they have pretty coarse hair, but do enjoy getting patted, pretty aggressively actually. they'll knock you over trying to get good scratches.

>>17351748
Very cool, seem like a fantastic pet with ample space.

>>17351740
funny story on that. i have never owned big animals until then, and i called a horse vet to come castrate him and give him pain meds. she thought i was weird but w/ever. she got their and saw he'd already been banded, so his balls were ready to fall off already. the vet laughed at me. fuck em though he was a cute lil guy.

>>17351752
Aww that's sweet, thanks for answering

>>17351760
>>17351625
If I had to choose between eating a cow or a cat I would eat the cat everytime because cow actually cares about their owner while the cat doesn't give two shits about you.

>>17351745
no i bought them for my wife for mother's day lol. just thought it would be fun. the calf did play with a big exercise ball. he would jump around and spin like a puppy, but grew out of it. they don't anymore. they do come RUNNING when i shake a can of treats though.

>>17351771
Naw I like my cat he's dumb as hell.

>>17351760
the really, really challenging thing is the food. we live in the mountains so grass grows late may-august basically, and they eat A LOT. so, i have to go in a trailor to buy hay which is just fucking annoying. it's pretty expensive too, but we're doing well for ourselves so that's not really an issue. but it's just a chore.

>>17351776
Just don't fall into a coma around him or he'll eat you.

>>17351625
No. I don't eat meat often, maybe once or twice a week.

>>17351773
>>17351777
That's really cool man, thanks for sharing.
>>17351783
Thinking I have bigger issues if I'm comatose long enough at home without anyone realizing I'm gone.

> With very few exceptions such as koalas, there are no other strictly herbivores. Although those animals do not hunt, they will eat meat when the opportunity presents itself. Those opportunistic carnivores include pandas, deers, cows, goats, chickens, ducks.

fair

>>17351648
>>17351685
I also do not eat humans

>>17351625
i just like dairy more than meat. i get tired of eating meat pretty quickly but could drink milk every day for most of my calories and still enjoy it.

watch this if you want to be 100% sure of going to heaven /ck/, it's easy to get to heaven.

>>17351625
you should be more worried about pigs

>>17351625
This is stupid as fuck, the dairy industry causes immense suffering. The meat industry ends it. If you think they're so heckin cute and smart, don't drink milk either you hypocritical faggot retard.

If I could get a lifetime supply of seafood in exchange for giving up every other kind of meat I would.
You could honestly do it now, in my area fish costs about the same if not less than beef and chicken right now

>>17351857
> the dairy industry causes immense suffering.
Sure but not all cow dairy is produced like that.

>>17351765
You are kind of retarded for not knowing your calf was banded. But most people who keep livestock purely as pets are generally retarded.

>>17351771
You would choose to eat an animal with less meat than a chicken than an animal that can easily feed you for 4 years.
>every time
including during a famine? Wow you are fucking stupid.

>>17351857

I don't eat /much/ beef. Is that okay?
Also, ever pet a veal calf? They're so soft!

>>17351661
Hypothetically if I was in a monogamous relationship with a cow, would I eventually get a disease?

>>17351625
>Anyone else here not a vegan but chooses not to eat cows specifically?
There's like a giant country that does this. I don't know if you're retarded or not

Is this the pajeet thread?

you must have been Indian in a past life, unironically. i recommend reading up on the field of Thanatology. here are some resources to start you out, about reincarnation and past lives, all written by esteemed psychologists with reputable professional credentials

>>17351995
lol i know. i felt retarded and still frequently do

>>17352878
Eh I've read about other cultures too that relied on dairy products and they'd avoid killing their cows unless it wasn't going to survive for some reason or perhaps for a really special occasion. And some cultures during summer months would mainly drink milk for all their calories since it was abundant during that time. Makes sense just from the perspective of maintaining enough food that you wouldn't want to kill an animal that can give you lots of milk instead. Some people feel similarly about chickens and eggs too.

>>17352889
So are you gonna eat him? use him as a beast of burden? Give him away? Or just let him drain you of your recourses until you finally accept that maybe livestock is best when it serves a purpose?

>>17351633
>animal do thing so I do thing

>>17351625
It's cool how this kind of thing seems to be getting more common. I avoid eating or indirectly harming animals that show enough intelligence or empathy, which includes cows. Didn't eat any animals for ages until I realized how many species are too retarded or cunty to give a fuck about.

>grew up with cows
>have no problem eating beef
Jeets get the FUCK OFF MY BOARD

>>17351643
kek, I knew somebody kind of like this. Didn't give a shit about anyone but himself but was extremely squeamish.

Better not eat plants either.
They eat literal feces.

I would be a vegan if it wasnt for all of the considerable health risks being one incurs.

>>17352968
ha no i won't eat him. they just hang out. we buy hay, but we're doing pretty well for ourselves so it's not a drain. they have lots of space too so it's not a big deal. i like having them around.

>>17351625
no but I recently broke a decade long vegetarian phase and feel kind of bad about the sheer amount of pig I've been eating. Not bad enough to stop.
>>17353049

>>17351729
>they can be pretty aggressive and mean
No, they really aren't. I used to bottle feed calves and sell them. Bulls are just as sweet as heifers and steers are as long as they're socialized with. Only problem is that bulls like to rub up and headbutt you. They don't many anything by it, but you can easily get hurt if you're a retard.

>>17351625
If you'd ever been on a dairy before, you'd prefer eating beef to drinking milk.

I don't like chicken, myself

>>17351625
I love cows, both for petting and eating
anymore I only buy the discount/sell now beef at the grocery store and eat or freeze it the same day. that way I can still eat beef, but it's the meat that would otherwise go to waste if no one bought it. wasting meat that an animal died to give is terrible.

>>17355352
They're both pretty abhorrent. I think hunting is the most humane option.

>>17351625
>Anyone else here not a vegan but chooses not to eat cows specifically?

Every time.

I hate that man's face so much

>>17355347
i didn't know that. i thought the test. threw them off. but i'm not surprised about socialization. cows can be fuckin nuts if you don't work with them and halter break them
