Very true. Thanks for the reminder. Even goats have the same situation. I guess the truest non violent solution would be to milk soy beans or nuts. At least no one can hear empathize with them as fellow sentient beings.

Even in the production of vegetables and grains many sentient beings are killed. They just happen to be mostly insects or smaller mammals.
Try going into a garden without stepping on anything, or using a thrasher without killing a single thing.
That's why Buddhists don't get too crazy with the whole vegetarian thing, most eat meat (albeit not necessarily in our North American super-size me portions)...
Make whatever choices you want, but cows milk is not something that just drops out of cows.
