This had me go from

milk = rape 🤨

milk = rape 😮

However, I'm also reading artificial insemination for dairy cattle reduces chance of injury from large bulls jumping on smaller heifers & minimizes stress on the heifer's body. The source adds it reduces risk of genital diseases that cause sterility. Can a heifer consent to breeding bull or artificial insemination? In principle, that's possible, but I don't think we can in practice positively know.

It may suffice to treat animals humanely, and I see an argument that artificial insemination is more humane for dairy cattle than insemination by breeding bull. I'm not sure it's in the best interest of heifers to inseminate only by breeding bull if it results in more injuries (and may also amount to rape for all we know).
