Currently in the requirement for milk mother cows are forcibly impregnated babies are stripped from their moms and the cows are milked.
Normally a cow lives 20+ years but in the dairy industry they only live 4 to 5 years.
Once the mother is done and can't produce milk anymore she is sent of to slaughter, often still pregnant. Fetuses from the slaughtered cows are used for research and very soft suede. Female calves stripped from their mother will repeat their mother's cycle. Male calves will be veal or are just left to die. The mother cow is intensely aware that she has a baby that is not with her and will cry for her baby. This is the truth of our consumption and any store bought milk.
