Nope. It's the opposite way. The cow produces so much milk, because it's milked so often. In normal world, cow produces milk for the children, and when they drink less and less milk, the cow produces less and less milk. In the not normal world (aka the farm) cows are inseminated almost every year, the children are taken away (causing shock in children and mothers) then cows are milked all the time. Then impregnated and so on. Till a cow is so exhausted that she cannot give enough milk to be "economically productive" and then she's slaughtered as useless.

The person you’re responding to actually knows what they’re talking about.

It seems like you’re off an incorrect assumption that there are dairy cows in the wild. (“normal world”)

Dairy cows are domesticated animals. They do not exist outside of the context of farms.

Well, they’re correct. It’s a predicament the farmer has put the cow in. The top comment’s framing makes it sound like cows just exist in nature and need us to milk them.

Some need hormon injections so they can get rid of the milk.
