          a) we don’t b) they can happily fuck on their own, it just makes it harder to exploit them for their body fluids. Nobody cares about the calves, they are just needed for the mothers to lactate

      If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.

        Ah yes so when I give my dog antibiotics for an infection against his will it’s definitely not medical treatment

        With humans yes, but in the case of non-human animals these decisions are up to the owner.

        edit: clarification for the ultra-dense.

            The differentiation “human” is artificial and made up…

            Uh… So the differentiation between ‘cow’ and ‘chicken’ is also artificial and made up, as well as the differentiation between ‘rock’ and ‘jetplane.’

            What’s your point?

            non-human animals … I didn’t think it needed spelling out.

            You share 25% of your DNA with a tree, is it slavery to own four apple trees?

      It is rape!

      Remember there have been at least one-doctor that did this to women, not in his offices to become pregnant (warning, SP?). A famous case was a doctor that raped/impregnanted (SP?) a lot of women looking to become mothers, with his own sperm. The obvious results/proof came after birth,

          Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.

          It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.

            What do we call a sexual act with a being that did not consent?

            Does it matter if the being is human? And what if the being is a neanderthal?

            Or say we find a lady on the street and DNA test her, find out she’s technically not human. What would we call sexually acting upon her without her consent?

            If defining this action triggers you emotionally this much, that’s a reflection of your ability to have level-headed conversations. It’s not your interlocutor as much as you’d like to claim.
