I didn't say life was a day spa for a cow. I said that a farmer/dairyman has a vested interest in animal comfort because it can help his bottom line. And please note that your 'all of the investigative reporting' comes from goveg, peta and mercy for animals (no slant there). You never hear about the livestock inspection that went exactly as planned because it isn't news.
And not to piss on your cause, because there ARE many examples of bad ranching practices out there that need to be stopped (note: many != majority) , but if you want to be convincing you do need to lighten up on your 'root canal a day for a couple of years' example. You are correct, it is a little extreme.
