What a lot of research!! Its unbelievable the way we treat cows I agree. When I was young we had a small holding with a few cows. I was asked to name one of the cows and I called her Milk! I was fascinated with her being milked and called her that out of love but sounds bit ironic now. I loved cows all my childhood and would always try and see how near they would let me get to them.I still find their presence very peaceful and nurturing. I've been a vegetarian since adolescence and a none milk drinker, but i know that veganism is really the way to go. There seems to be a big resurge at the moment. Glad youre promoting it.

wow that is lovely that you had strong bond with them. Yes Veganism is the way if you source your diary products from stores. But if you have just a few of your own cows and they are allowed to be cows naturally and you make your own diary products out of necessity to sustain your family then vegetarianism is ok! except the potential health problems associated with diary but still would be alot less contaminated than store brought. But the cow must be treated with respect for providing its life giving sustenance and there should be enough for the calf as long as it needs it.
Yea it took a while to write this :) i've been researching this for a while, I wrote an essay last year about similar themes with ancient Egypt, which is one of my historical fascinations and all ancient megalithic cultures in fact. :)
