Why I Didn't Continue IoT Cattle Health Monitoring

Why I didn't continued Iot Cattle health monitoring I paused the IoT cattle health monitoring project because it clashed with my core principles. Animals are living beings deserving real care, not machines optimized just for milk yield. Village farmers already watch their cows closely during daily feeding and checkups, showing attentive husbandry works without turning them into data points.
Nature is brutal with predators eating prey and us consuming plants that are also alive and often pumped with chemicals for better yield. Veganism is not feasible for everyone's budget or nutrition needs, especially my gym macros. Still, humans can aim higher than survival cycles.
Mechanizing dairy risks more exploitation than compassion, even if IoT detects illnesses early. For now, traditional respect feels right, so I will innovate elsewhere that aligns better.
Because I felt it was against my principles and integrity when I look into this deeper, Animals are not machines they also have life by making this kind of diseases we are trying to make them productive by yielding more milk and not actually caring about them, when I talked to my village people I get to know the people who are having cows they regular check them anyways while feeding regularly,
