Hi, all. First post.
I've been trying to understand vegetarianism and veganism, and, even though I don't agree with most of their claims so far (because studies seem to disagree a lot), I have a question about stalls.
Does anyone know if dairy cows are generally happy in their stalls? I'm referring to the small ones, where the cows always face the same direction (assuming the majority are like that).
(Just a note: I'd personally more prefer answers from people who don't actually keep animals in similar stalls, for obvious reasons... I mean, of course, unless you keep a more rational view of these things, as opposed to those who go onto defensive autopilot.)
Update: By the way, I'm not here to try to prove anything. See below.
