I think that's a correct take. It's so sad how some cows are treated. Tangentially related when I was in grad school in Ireland we were driving through the country for a hike or something, and we passed a field that was moderately crowded with cows. Like maybe twice as much as the usual concentration of cows on an Irish pasture, but still absolute luxury conditions compared to American farms. All these young men who were economics students (stereotypically sociopaths 🤣) absolutely freaked out! Everyone in the car was shouting about how that wasn't right, someone called the council right then and there, it was the most outrage I've ever seen on behalf of animal welfare. It was honestly heartwarming 🥰

Wow. Yeah econ students are psychos, but rational psychos who I can talk to, so I guess its fine. Still psychos.
