For a cow to produce milk, it has to become pregnant first. They impregnate the cow by inserting their arm far into it's rectum to position the uterus as they force an instrument into her vagina. This is called a "rape rack." The calf that is born from this process, if it is female, it will go through the same thing it's mother did. If it is male, it is castrated and slaughtered after four months. To kill cows, they tie it to the ceiling by it's hoof so that it's upside-down, slitting it's throat open while it is conscious, and even if it's still conscious, they proceed to skin it alive.
Also, the machines they use to pump the milk out of their udders harms them. This is why your milk has pus and blood in it.
