        It’s more about how researchers actually appear to be deconstructing the human-centric notion of language to include non-human animals. This is particularly good in this regard as it involves one of the species we treat the worst.

        In my view such progress is critical to undoing our commodification of animals which underlies and justifies carnism.

          That’s fair, I guess I would just hate for people to read it and take the absence of any description of how the dairy cow-human relationship is a horrific, unjust, exploitative and oppressive one to mean that dairy farming is acceptable.

          If we really are exploring that relationship genuinely and without obscuring facts, the suffering dairy cows experience at the hands of humans must be acknowledged.
