Vegetarians and vegans ...?!
if your reasoning is cruelty to animals: what about it bothers you? will you eat fish? what do you think would happen if everyone was a vegetarian ... what about the population level of animals that we eat?
vegans ...
why do you eliminate all animal by-products?
would you eat an egg or eat cheese that was produced by an animal that was taken very good care of and not harmed or forced to provide food? why or why not?
Answers: why do you personally eliminate meant from your diet?

I do not believe in eating anything that is 'enhanced' with artificial hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals.
Meat production does not require animals to be penned so they cannot move, their limbs break, and they do not need to have various parts of their bodies cut off or burned off in order to make the meat process more 'streamlined.' If animals were allowed outdoors and naturally pastured, I would have far less issue with meat production. However, they are not.
If everyone was a vegetarian, we would still keep cattle and chicken for eggs and milk, since most vegetarians are ovo-lacto vegetarians. The population would decrease, but not much else would happen. Domesticated animals require human intervention, generally, to survive, so there's no risk they will breed to excess, and they likely wouldn't go extinct, since people love eggs and cheese.
My mum is vegan + vegeterian of course.
The way we get our milk, butter etc these days is all like cruelty, they force it out of the animals, even if they're not ready.
It's really quite disgusting.
I'm not vegan nor vegeterian, but I still find it cruel.
And most meat these days, are from slaughted animals.
So if you're not planning to become vegeterian, I recommend only eating organic meat.
I'd also like to ask..
If everything is either plant or animals, we are an animal.
How come it's so wrong to eat a human, but okay to eat an animal.
They are alive too.
i was born and raised as a vegetarian. so it doesnt bother me when people go "but meat is sooo goood! and how do you life without it?" i just say, ive never tried it so i dont know
i was raised as one because of religion but i think that even i wasnt would turn to one. i dont like to see what people do to animals
Here are the main reasons I became vegan, I posted a link since it's too long to re-write.

And I don't eat fish because eating fish is not cruelty free or environmentally sustainable either. Fish are animals and they feel pain. They don't deserve to die any less than a sheep or cow. Also farmed fish have to be fed tonnes of wild caught fish. Catching fish also kills other sea creatures in the massive nets. So fish is not a more ethical alternative.
I still wouldn't drink dairy because cows produce milk for their young, not for us. I feel like it's stealing nutrients from the calf. So whether or not the cow is treated well it still feels wrong.
No animal products or byproducts because animals are not there for our exploitation or use.
I'm a vegan.
And no I wouldn't eat egg or cheese, no matter how happy the animal is.
It almost seems like you're implying a common misconception and that is that all vegetarians and vegans care about animals. Not the case.
I personally wouldn't eat egg or cheese because of how unhealthy it is.

If the whole human population were to become vegetarian, I don't think that it would happen overnight. So when the industries notice that less meat is being bought off the markets, they will produce less meat. (Yes humans do control how much "meat" is being produced, [animals which we eat, are born.])
