Sure, make this about identity politics rather than facing the fact that he was needlessly exploiting and harming animals.

In that industry, their calves are taken from them and you even specified that the cows were 'assholes' more so when they had calves.

I wonder why your uncle was nearly stomped to death and why these cows were becoming more hostile and aggressive after having calves in an industry where those calves are taken from them for further exploitation and abuse. 🤔

There, I fixed it for you.

Sorry not sorry your relative was almost killed by the animals they were exploiting and abusing for profit.

Vegans aren't to blame for people identifying and acknowledging the cows are not the assholes in your story.

Morality is relative, if the storyteller says someone or something is an asshole thats it. You can tell your own story, which you did, but since you don’t have any access to the primary source its not surprising if your version doesn’t have a sense of authenticity.

Right, because exploitation and abuse aren't inherently part of the dairy industry.

No wait, those industries would not exist if not for the exploitation and abuse.

It should not be surprising that animals would become defensive over their children in such industries.

Gets mad at identity politics, literally uses identity politics to assume his uncle was a bad cattle raiser.

His uncle was needlessly harming and exploiting those animals for his own profits. It's literally inherently part of the business he chose to run.

What does identity politics have anything to do with that?

Am I also playing into identity politics by saying a Bus driver drives buses?

I think you're confusing job title with identity politics bud.
