they must. There are cows on a sanctuary around here that act VERY

different towards vegans. They get all snuggly and nuzzle and kiss

you and stuff,its the greatest feeling. It's like they somehow know

you're an herbivore,as they don't act nearly as loving to meateaters.

Given that " wild " humans spend a third to a half of their lives as

infants, and the parental bond does not break with time the way it does

in many other mammals, I suspect other mammals would suffer, but not as

much as Angie, at the loss of an offspring.

 

Of course, as I told an omni colleague this week, I'm sure the cow

misses her calf more than I miss pizza.
