Yes, as a vegan, my stance is we should stop breeding cows.
By the way, I’ve heard the argument “oh, it’s better for the health of the animal to do … whatever” in quite a few contexts that I think are just plain wrong. Such as, for example, farrowing crates. Apparently it’s “better” for the sow and her babies if she is stuck in a crate so small she can’t even turn around. I don’t buy that farrowing crates are good for pigs and I don’t buy that artificial insemination is good for cows either.
