If you are vegan, why are you vegan?!


Question: If you are vegan, why are you vegan!?
I'm a vegetarian!. I'm all for eating healthy and not harming animals, but I don't really understand veganism!. Like, with milk!. Cows HAVE to be milked!. If they don't, their udders can swell too much and become infected (my cousin works on milk farm thing in Georgia, so that's how I know)!.
And with eggs, the chicken has the egg anyway!. So why not use it!? If it doesn't have a baby chicken inside, then go ahead and eat it!
I just don't understand!. I really hope I haven't offended anyone or anything, I just need someone who is vegan to explain to me!.
Thank you so much!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Cows produce milk for their young, most cows in the milk industry are artificially inseminated so they will keep producing milk!. Sometimes the cows are given abortions and sometimes the baby calves are taken away from their mothers and sold to the veal industry!. Yes, the dairy industry is directly connected to the veal industry!. Drink milk, send baby cows off to be slaughtered!.

Broiler chickens are crammed 4 or more into very small cages and shocked into producing eggs!. The chickens either peck at each other or have their beak tips seared off to prevent that making it hard for them to eat and drink properly!. Eggs are bad for you anyway, too much cholesterol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you're all for eating healthy, how can you not understand veganism!? Milk was intended for fattening up cute lil growing baby calves, not humans!. We are the only creatures on the planet that drink milk past infancy, and its the milk of another species!. I would think its common sense to see that as something sick!. Dairy is full of fat, and the substitutes are just as yummy and better for you!. And as far as eggs go, you're eating the unfertilzed embryo of a baby chicken!. Thats gross and sad at the same time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well other that milk being unnatural (as we are human beings, not cows) and my not liking eggs in the first place they are both a direct result in the deaths of animals!. I am an ethical veg@n!. Cows live short lives in the dairy industry and that short life is filled with misery and pain, more so than in factory farming!. Cows are work to such limits it is just heartbreaking for me to think about it!. They are hooked to machines and they are constantly uncomfortably and unwelcomly being used for their milk!. also in the dairy indusrty most cows are given steroids and growth hormones so they will produce more milk for greedy consumers!. No creature deserves that kind of treatment no matter how inferior it is to humans!. Things are very similar when it comes to chicken eggs!. Chickens are locked in small cages where they can't even spread their wings!. Could you imagine being locked in a place so small you couldn't even spread your arms out!? After all the torment chickens go through from being locked in these cages and constantly giving all of these eggs to us greedy humans they are spent!. They are left to die or are simply killed when they have no more energy!. And for the male chickens they are simply killed for eating when they are no longer needed for fertilizing eggs!. I am a veg@n because these small things have such a huge effect on animals!. I could never in my life consume something like dairy or things with egg in them again without being ashamed of myself!. I care for others!. Animals, humans, insects, amphibians, sea creates!. Respect is respect and i don't think animals should be disrespected just because they can't talk or because they are less intelligent!. Veg@nism is so special to me, it reashures me that I am a good person and I am doing a good thing in life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chickens are usually abused in the prosses of giving the eggs, and are housed in vinal record sized cages with 5 to 6 chickens in them, while they are often under stress!.

Cows produce milk for their young and is in no way an extra benefit to humans becuase we can get many other nutriants from many other things!. The mother cows are impregnated throughout their entire life to give birth to their loved calf, just to have it taken away immediatly often leaving the calf lame from not having enough nutriants to subtain it's small body!. This cycle happens many many times within a couple of years!.

After 6 months, humans are perfectly fine without consuming milk anyway!. It's barley even a basic essencial that we need!.

i wrote a 4 page report on it if you would like to read it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
