Dairy Cows Need To Be Milked Or Else They Will Be In Severe Pain.
Each dairy cow is repeatedly forcibly impregnated about once a year for about 5 years before she is slaughtered.
A Bit Of Biology: Cows are mammals. Mammals only produce milk after they
have been impregnated and give birth---clearly for the sole purpose of feeding
their young since
1. Milk sacs in mammalian breasts only swell after childbirth.
2. All mammalian infants need breast milk to be healthy.
The calf is taken away from his/her mother on average 1 day after birth.
The calf is then either immediately killed, if female she may be raised to become a dairy cow but isolated from her mother, or if male he may be raised for veal---which involves him being tied down or crated for most of his short life so that he cannot develop muscles and, once killed, his meat is tender.
The reason the cows are in pain if they aren't milked by humans is because they are being prevented from giving their milk to their offspring---humans are preventing whole reason that they biologically produce milk in the first place!
An Analogy: When a female human is impregnated and then gives birth, her breasts swell with milk for her child. If you take away her child, her breasts will being to hurt if she does not find a way to milk herself.
