The Editor Speaks: Is sea turtle farming any different than cattle farming?
- a dairy cow is impregnated every year, so she continues to produce a steady supply of milk. This is usually done through artificial insemination.
- calves are removed from their mothers almost right after birth.
- especially in intensive dairy farming, cows are genetically engineered and fed growth hormones to force them to produce more milk.
