    Twice a day... for some of the large farms, you better have a really good team of milkers on hand.

    I assume these kids would MUCH rather watch those udders go septic from not milking the cows... Yeah, MUCH more humane than milking. You want misery? Talk to a vet who has had to deal with something like that - absolute terror.

    Somehow, that the snivelers, er, students are at UC Berkeley doesn't surprise me in the slightest... Coddled hyperstatist future PETA activists, spawn of the self-entitled leftist looter class.

    Berkeley in itself is a strange place anyway... Lived there for 2 years, it's like living in a people's republic inhabited by the looters, er, "powerful liberal elite".

    Dairymen know how to milk by hand. Try milking 150 head twice a day, though, and see if you're up to the task. An experienced person can milk six per hour. 150 requires 150/6 = 25 hours. The first milking is not half done before it's time for the second. Alternatively you could enlist 25 people and be done in an hour, except the cows are not comfortable around strangers.

    When my wife married her first husband, about 40 years ago, her about-to-be father-in-law could not attend the wedding. There were two people in the family who the cows would allow to milk them, and she was marrying one of them! The other--his dad--had to stay and milk the cows. No alternative! That family has since switched over to beef cattle.

    Correct!! If these clowns were ignored,they'd
    go away!! Instead, the attention puts them
    in the spotlight, which is exactly what they
    want. Jeeze!!

    Anyone who wants to protest milking should first have to spend two weeks working at a dairy farm. You milk twice a day, regardless. If you are afraid you are going to lose electrical power for your milking machines, you have backup power.

    An example of worship of the earth, and of low regard for fellow human beings and just possibly for self.

    I can't tell b/c the article implies absurdly that we must maintain factory farms once they're started, but it sounds like they're raising the ethical issues of industrial farming practices, which I think is very important.

    Why do these idiot's comments even get noticed and pointed out. Not worth giving the slightest glance. Spoiled brats having tantrums over nothing. Ignore them!

    Their next step will be to protest the local maternity ward to shame human babies who routinely take part in this abusive and inhumane practice against their own mothers!
