These things are usually horrible from an animal welfare perspective, so I
scanned the article to find out what the catch was.

I had to dig deep before I came to this: "But farmers said output generally
increased with robots because most cows like being milked more often. (To
allow lactation, cows are kept in a near-constant state of impregnation.)".

Without any trace of irony, the article has this quote: "The Bordens say
the machines allow them to do more of what they love: caring for animals."

I guess that is how real Christians care for their fellow beings: by
keeping them in a near-constant state of impregnation.
