I can see how in some situations restraining a goat (or cow or whatever) may be necessary but at the same time, with all the effort you go through restraining them and forcing her to let them nurse, and having to go out there every few hours or half hour or whatever anyway, you may as well just bottle feed them. It'd be a lot faster and simpler. But it might be useful sometimes, I don't know, and if she could get sick from not then it might be bad?
That said, I think it works with certain animals but not all so for instance, even if it could be necessary in goats, I don't really agree with holding the rabbit down. Especially since rabbits are especially prone to stress and can suffer heart attacks and stuff from stress.
But I guess it worked in that particular situation.
But I think there should be some middle ground. Sometimes animals need to go through stress and there's no avoiding it - you need to milk them, move them somewhere, catch an escapee, etc. - and that's fine but sometimes I think if there's an easier or faster way that won't stress them out, that's what should be done or at least, it's okay to do that. I don't think that they have to be forced to do every thing, sometimes it's okay to do things a different way, and I also think you don't have to never consider their feelings or what they want. That's valid too, despite what some might say. So I guess I'm kind of in the middle. But I'm also not going to say one way is wrong or attack someone for doing it their way, which seems to be happening on both sides here, because I do things my way and they might do things there way and in the end, does it really matter how it gets done as long as ot gets done/if the end result is the same?
