    Considering that negotiating with livestock would be a hassle, probably just pretend we can’t understand them

      It’s not like we can’t understand the screams and cries from livestock right now already…

        Yeah, but they living ones are not asking “hooman, what happened to Stacy?”

          Cows are known to cry and wail when their calves are taken and killed.

            TIL, I thought we usually kill the older animals first.

              Dairy cows are impregnated around 7 times so they can be milked. Most of their calves are used for veal.

                the vast majority of calves do not become veal

      …while still listening to everything they say in order to control them more efficiently.

        Sounds like a good premise for a scifi story.

          sounds like a good premise for a tech company.
