Bad practices exist. But good practices do too.

I've visited dairy farms and the animals were well taken care of, fed, and with clean and proper housing conditions.

The regulations are also very hard for keeping dairy cows, too the point many producers have shut down (hopefully, the bad ones). Instalations have to follow strict cleaning and sanitation requirements, pest control protocols, etc. And animals have to be regularly checked by veterinarians, along with surprise visits/inspections from the local municipal veterinarian and national food and animal safety agencies.

And the milk is checked for safety.

Is the current technology in need of an advance? Perhaps. But come on...
