The cows milk is meant for one being only: it's baby calf. As with any creature, the calf determines the amount of milk it needs, and the mother's body adjusts accordingly. Eventually, the calf will wean itself, and the mother will stop producing milk for it.
OTOH, when you have a factory farm, the cows are milked many times a day, far more than a calf would ever take in. So if you were to suddenly stop milking it, it would either die, or be *very* uncomfortable.
So by milking a cow you aren't doing it any favors, sorry.

I'm not making that argument, you are/were.
But I'm glad you see how wrong your argument was.

Okay...so maybe I overestimated you. Let's see...
Practicing vegetarianism = Humanly possible
Practicing Veganism = Humanly possible
Practicing Photosythesisiism = Not humanly possible
One of these isms is doing it's own thing....
