      For real, this has nothing to do with animal welfare. The cows still get forcefully impregnated every so often and have their calves taken away, just so you can drink their milk. Supermarkets are full of tasty plant milk variants, yet most people still see the need to let cows suffer instead.

    There have been robots for cows for years. It‘s the SHIT PUSHER ROBOT. It‘s pushing away the straw and shit all the day. That’s useful automation imho.

    Edit: And a feeding machine is know for years as well. Same with the hugging brushes.

    Call it a „robot“ and it gives you an article in the IEEE magazine and promotes your startup. What a shit show.

    Editedit: Ok, read the article. It’s more a „Hey look how much automation is in a cow barn already“

    The life of a cow becomes much more free and comfortable. Somehow it reminds me of the life of a human working and living in a modern society. (Not sure, if we recognize the fences around us and still call it freedom)

    Imagine believing that carnists profiting from torture, murder, and environmental destruction give a shit about happier cows.
