The dairyman is not plunging his hand up her vagina or birth canal. He is running his hand up her rectum and clearing the manure so that he can feel her cervix so that he may insert the tube in order to discharge the thawed semen. The tube by the way is not much larger the perhaps 1/8" diameter. Since the cow doesn't come unwound or even much care about all of this I find it hard to believe that she is feeling like she is getting raped. In fact they usually don't even stop eating while this happens.

Now by using AI we can do a lot of things for the cow. We can give her 2 good cycles to regain her uterine health. This wouldn't happen with a bull by the way, she would be violently raped on her first heat only 30 days or so after calving. With AI we can also control the size of the calf so we aren't killing first calf heifers by having them try to throw 120 lb calves. We can also mate them to bulls who are known to correct any faults she may have so that each generation is a healthier animal.

You should maybe go tour a dairy facility because your ideas of the cows suffering are way off base. Of course animal rights folks are much more into sensationalism then fact and always have been. Farmer can't make much money if his animals are in terror and suffering but that doesn't make a good story for the folks who've never seen a dairy cow much less a modern dairy.
