constant state of lactation? unless your talking about drugging cows, i dont see what your point is. natural lactation isnt particularly harmful for a cow from what i know. and generally, you dont steal all the milk{other than in large commercial venture types which is wrong} from her and she has enough for her kids.
also, the milk taken can easily be compensated for by giving the cow easy and ample food which otherwise she would have to find by herself.
another thing is that cows generally, are not as active as animals like horses and in ranches etc, you dont technically bar them from naturally roaming etc. pastures are enough for that.
also, i dont see your point in comparing taking milk from cows, to killing them. it is a HUGE difference. and my point of view is consistant.
