We might arguably not be doing "cows" as some sort of species-group
any favours,

Quite, given they wouldn't actually exist in such a mutated state if
it weren't for out intrusion. Why would they?

but the individual dairy-herd cows - yes, we are
doing them a favour by milking them.

Only because we artificially inseminate them then take their calves
away and kill them?

As I understand it, they
have been bred to produce so much milk that *not* milking them
regularly would have significant negative consequences.

Quite, Darwin would have a plan for them (in nature) wouldn't he?

You are admitting the only way they could survive is by our continuing
to exploit them (so we should)?
