Though you do need to do something with the baby cows that are born before their mother produces milk. They're often killed since they don't have much value otherwise.

What's the situation where a cow would calf, and not have milk ready to feed it?

Doesn't really seem like that'd be a common thing, though I could believe it does happen occasionally (law of large numbers and all).

> Eggs from chickens and milk from cows seem like the corresponding thing for the animal realm.

Both of those animals are raped, have their children separated from them, and are ultimately killed early in their life when their economic commodification is concluded, so no, the level of violence and negative side effects is not anywhere close to comparable.

> ... have their children separated from them, and are ultimately killed ...

Oh, you mean like "beans, corn and wheat" as in the comment I was replying to?

That seems to be what happens for them too. ;)

No idea why you're saying the same things happening to them "aren't anywhere close to comparable".

Plants lack sentience, so your argument is completely invalid.

Hmmm, is there any chance you're choosing arbitrary lines because they're convenient for you?

What's arbitrary about sentience, which is scientifically established?

> Both of those animals are raped

Hem... not. Farmers don't have sex with chicken or cows normally. Can we behave as adults here?

How do you think those animals get pregnant?

So tell us about "beans, corn and wheat" then... ?
