All mammals instantly fall in love with their babies
Nope. All animals take time to form a bond. Before modern medicine even people sometimes wouldn’t even name their babies until they were a year old because infant mortality was so insanely high and emotional investment was risky. Take a calf away from a cow within a half hour she won’t remember she even calved, even if it’s a beef cow. Often animals will just walk away from weak offspring because they aren’t worth the investment according to their instincts. Bonding isn’t instant or automatic.
Really? Cause my rabbit ate 2 from her first litter and mortally wounded the other 3 which had to be euthanized.
Aren’t Quokkas and Kangaroos basically infamous for throwing their babies at predators so that they have a chance at saving their own skins? Bear moms will just fucking abandon one or more of her cubs if she happens to have too many at a time. Pretty sure that harp seal moms just up and abandon their pups after two weeks or so, leaving them to starve on the shore while they fuck off to find a new mate.
And that’s all without even touching on the numerous mammalian examples of filial cannibalism.
To say that non-human mothers “love” their offspring is nothing more than anthropomorphism on its most naive level. The fact that so many anti-animal ag folks base their entire argument on this kind of nonsense is exactly why no one takes them seriously.
Queens remove their weak kittens from the nest to get cold and die 🤷🏻
what does any of that have to do with diary being shit
Nothing because dairy isn’t shit.
Momma dogs kill their whole litters quite often. Then eat their pups.
