Video This is the largest single-building pig farm in the world. At 26 storeys high, it can slaughter 1.2 million pigs per year. It was built in Ezhou, China, to help the country's exploding demand for pork. Pork is China's most popular meat, with the country consuming nearly half of global pork demand.

Yeah ive seen some dairy factories from the us and that shit is fucking disgusting, glad that there are rules against that shit where i live. my neighbour is a dairy farmer and those cows live better than most people, no kalvs gets shipped of to the butcher and the bulls roam with the dairy cows and no insemination takes place and they got huge field to roam with some forest patches and can freely walk in and out of the barn

rules against that shit

No there aren't. Everybody seems to think their country or jurisdiction has some magical laws but they don't.

What happens to the babies? They're still gonna be separated from their mothers on your neighbor's farm if he wants to actually make a profit, otherwise the baby will drink all the milk.

Also, the very fact of exploiting the cow reproductive system to drink the breast milk of another species is wrong at its core (and gross).

I regret commenting on you comment, you are one of those that even when confronted with a different reality just wanna fight. I dont want to talk to unreasonable people like yourself. Thank you, have a good day

What do you think happens when cow has male calf? Just asking not judging

They’re asking you questions and you’re shutting down rather than engage in dialogue. Cheesebreather

u/Buskbr Sep 09 '26

Its not a engaging dialogue if one party is just confrontational

That is a fair view and im not opposed to the idea of this being a holocaust but id more say a genocide, since they raise a generation(in cruelty)then kill the whole generation at once.

Times like this, I'm glad I'm vegetarian. Ethics of meat are far too gone for me

u/Buskbr Sep 09 '26

Because i dont want to, i want to eat meat as well i just dont want the animals to die for it, its simple

u/AndreasVesalius Sep 09 '26

But animals do die for eggs and dairy

That is not how it works everywhere, i get my eggs from my aunt, she has 12 hens, they roam free at a big farm, they get the best food and they live good lives. There is no rooster so no eggs are impregnated. But im just gonna stop replying. I dont care to please you, i can live with my actions.
