Satirical commentary on the gap between fertility treatment access for dairy cows and human people
Overview
This is a two-panel edited meme using clips from the 1951 Disney animated film Alice in Wonderland. The top panel shows Alice curiously crawling toward a rabbit hole, with text to the left reading "How is milk made?" and text next to the rabbit hole labeled "Wikipedia search of 'Dairy cows'". The bottom panel shows Alice looking shocked as she falls down the rabbit hole, surrounded by factual text about dairy cow reproductive practices: that dairy cows must be bred to produce milk, artificial insemination is standard on most farms, elite cows are given hormone treatments to produce multiple embryos, cows have a 9-month gestation period matching humans, embryo transfer to surrogate cows is used on some farms, and most farms separate calves from their mothers within 24 hours of birth. The meme draws a satirical comparison between the widespread, advanced reproductive treatments provided to dairy cows for agricultural production and the common lack of affordable, accessible fertility care for human people, highlighting the absurdity of this disparity.
