    Not much. This is mostly about animal milk production. Cows have to be pregnant in order to produce milk for their calves. But dairy farmers artificially inseminate (rape) cows and steal the milk meant for the calves.

    Male calves and cows who get old are sent to slaughter houses for meat, and other products like leather.

    So, it does have to do a little about eating and not eating meat, but it is mostly about animal milk.

      The same process is done to cows that will be slaughtered to meat, otherwise the farmers wouldn’t be able to selectively breed and would be risky to the cows (cows have a high risk of injury when getting mounted by a bull). Farmers find a bull with the desired fenotype, buy his semen and impregnate the cows in the same manner you see pictured by OP.
