Yes. The cows in the fields around me are exploited for milk. Their young are taken from them to early so we can steal their milk. The males are mostly killed of course. That is all normal procedure in the dairy industry. That must cause such sentient beasts a lot of grief throughout their milk-producing lives.
And yet from what I have seen, they have learned to adapt to some extent. I am not condoning their treatment which is not right but which has become 'normalised'. Yet I see cows free in the fields, all summer long and they look well, and content generally. (But of course this is not always the case re: factory farming.)
Now what happens to those dogs at Yulin is something quite different. Animal welfare laws would prevent such things happening as a matter of course in western countries. The methods of slaughter include the most abominable treatment of sentient beings I have ever encountered, including the tortures of the Inquisition and the treatment of humans in the death camps.
Also may of them are stolen, and some came from loving homes.
