A surprising number of Americans think that cows just produce milk all the time and 'need' to be milked. As opposed to them being, well, mammals, who only lactate after pregnancy and are thus regularly inseminated in rape racks (industry term) to keep them lactating until they're no longer useful then killed.

A surprising number of Americans think baby cows get some of that milk from their moms. As opposed to baby males being killed soon after birth as veal and baby females raised on hormone cocktails to continue the cycle of forced labor and death of their mothers.
