If they had a few thousand head, would they be hand-milking?
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.
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.
go away!! Instead, the attention puts them
in the spotlight, which is exactly what they
want. Jeeze!!
My response? Those complainers most likely are living in a high-rise apartment in a large urban center and have never gotten onto an airplane and looked out the window during a transcontinental (US) flight.
They have NO concept of how EMPTY most of the country is or how much of even urban areas are NOT covered with homes or pavement.
It's a dreamworld for them. Likewise, a lot of the loons commenting on that video have never seen a clean factory farm or lived or worked on one. Their reality comes from the publications of their own cults which filter the data for them.
Gee... sort of like some other subjects we've dealt with here, eh? :)
Something like 60+ years ago, one of my grade school class trips in NJ was to the Walker-Gordon RotoLactor building near Princeton.
Cows, gently herded into automatic stalls, every udder washed and sanitized before automated milkers collected their output, then attendants checked them and I think even washed some.. and when they finished their trip around the wheel, they were released back to the fields to graze. Not a cruel maneuver at all to be seen and a bunch of relaxed cows as you could imagine.
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".

Hopefully they will do the right thing and commit Seppuku...
Seriously, these nut jobs continue to insist upon placing animals on the same level as humans. We can only hope that they never get into politics as adults.
Presumably these students have nothing against natural exploitation, such as foxes eating chickens, and chickens eating worms.
Young people are naturally idealistic. Using the products of man's mind (buildings, printing, Internet), they object to other "apps" of man's mind (agriculture, animal husbandry, mass production).
As with any situation, those who object should be required to produce a better solution. OK, Berkeley, what would you do with all those cows?
