Seriously tho.

And I don't mean that in a dunking kind of way, I just genuinely think it's an interesting way to go about things.

    Under what real world ethics system would dairy cows who have stopped making milk, their calves, female chickens who have stopped laying, and their male counterparts, to live out their natural life spans (10-22 years), while also being a system under which milk and eggs are harvested?

      People do this all the time with family animals. Many people I know keep chickens until they die, regardless if they are still laying eggs. Same with cows. I don't keep pets and avoid dairy/egg products but I don't think they're doing anything shameful.
