If an animal is not killed or harmed, why do vegans still not use the products?!

When is an animal not harmed? Slavery is always harmful to anybody who is being enslaved. You cannot take something from somebody without harming them in some way. Also a cow is not an it, a living being is never an it. You wouldn't call your humyn friend an it, would you?
This is a great video talking about exactly what you are asking and more:

vegan because animals are not property
Well, for one thing, part of the vegan diet is about health, and cow's milk is not good for you (despite what the milk industry advertises). There is more calcium in orange juice than in cow's milk, for example. Animal products are generally just not good for you (fish may be an exception).
Also, the milk that a cow produces is meant for her calf. You can't produce milk without creating a calf, and what happens to the calf when his mother's milk is taken away? In reality, these calves are slaughtered or used for veal (an extremely cruel practise).
No, no, no. Vegans DO use animal products. Just like you and me they use byproducts of animal slaughter every day like glues in book bindings, roads, wall board..... They just like to pretend they don't.
Here's a long list of things made from cows. You use some of them, I use some of them, everyone uses some of them:

And animals die for their food, just like it dies for my food.
From the link:
"Animals of the field are killed by several factors, including:
1. Tractors and farm implements run over them.
2. Plows and cultivators destroy underground burrows and kill animals.
3. Removal of the crops (harvest) removes ground cover allowing animals on the surface to be killed by predators.
4. Application of pesticides.
So, every time the tractor goes through the field to plow, disc, cultivate, apply fertilizer and/or pesticide, harvest, etc., animals are killed. And, intensive agriculture such as corn and soybeans (products central to a vegan diet) kills far more animals of the field than would extensive agriculture like forage production, particularly if the forage was harvested by ruminant animals instead of machines...."

Yes, because they kill the cow once it stops milking. Atleast in America, they kill amost all cows at the age of 5 (even organic milk giving cows), although the natural mortality of cow is around 12-15 years. So to support that industry that sells milk of cows, and slaughters the cows will not be a good karma. Also milk is unhealthy for most humans anyways, which is another reason people go vegan. Cow milk is meant for the calf, I don't want to steal from it anymore.
Because using sentient creatures as machines is inherently wrong.
If I kept a woman in a barn and fed and watered her every day and continually inseminated her so that she remained pregnant, and shipped her babies off to be slaughtered so that I could sell her (hormone, antibiotic, and pus-filled milk) would that be a-okay?
Uh, unless you are swallowing LIVE goldfish, I haven't heard of anyone eating an animal that was still alive, and even if it was alive when being eaten, I am sure the stomach acid would kill it; therefore technically your question is invalid.
Have you seen how cattle are milked, the essentially have a vacuum cleaner sucking on their dugs. Plus to keep a cow giving milk it must constantly produce calves, Which become veal and you don't get veal without killing them
I don't think you have thought this out. If you have never seen a cow retirement home there is a reason for that. When they are past their prime in milk production they are slaughtered and used for fast food grade meat.
Two answers:
1. The same reason that people ask questions online - because they want to.
2. Many animals are not as well cared for as people would like to imagine, and people have different definitions of "well cared for".

because its animal exploitation. read about veganism here: http://wayfaringvegans.weebly.com/
Save a cow, eat a vegan!
I believe the idea is that having an animal in captivity is wrong, therefore any products that come from the animal are frowned upon. Although they have no problem with plants being forced to live in confined spaces, separated from natural foliage, and slaughtered at will with no regard to its will to live
AMAZING! Is that what you want? http://findsth.info/4320/animal-products
