How is it good for the cows? If you want cows that are "loved like family", then please explain how milking a cow is worse than a human woman getting (well, being forced into) a job as a milk producer? (Which goes far beyond "wet nursing" in terms of milk production)

It isn't about the cow, it is about the babies those cows must have to be able to lactate. They are chained up or crated and then killed.
