It’s not about ”not liking” dairy. It’s about it being an exploitative industry, and eating dairy basically means you’re contributing to the meat industry too. There’s no retirement home for cows that stop producing milk.
Also, it should go without saying, but adult humans don’t need milk, especially from another species.
As an Indian who was fasting today, milk was the primary source of nutrition. Its not about need but the availability and nutrition values, i certainly stay clear of camel or goat stuff. You don’t need high fructose corn syrup either
Plus I like cows, grew up with em, theyre better than dogs
The general consensus of the Hexbear vegan community is that animal products come from exploitation that is wholly unethical. The wider site has mixed feelings on this, and after many a struggle session the peace was made by the mods having people mark pictures of meat NSFW and telling everyone to stop fighting about veganism in general.
Dairy cows are forcibly impregnated (repeatedly) because unlike what you’ve been taught, cows do not just produce milk. But with the milk also comes a baby cow of course, so they take the baby cow and they torture it to death (that’s what veal is) or they raise it as a beef cow or as another dairy cow to continue the cycle. Now that the baby is out of the way, they steal the milk and sell it to you and repeat the process. They do this for a few years until their brutalized victim is literally too exhausted and unhealthy to produce milk anymore, at which point they murder it and sell its meat to you too (cows can live for decades, this happens after only a few years).

we have a strong vegan community
If you are a part of it. As someone who was born and comes from a long line of vegetarians.
Whats up with not liking dairy? Is it the digestion?
Edit: for anyone else stumbling into this, its cuz they eat the milk source in most countries and cultures

So if you were in a country where cows were treated better, say India, youd continue with milk?
No.

Do you know how dairy workers use the cows to produce milk?
India? Yes. Is why we have milkmen with gaushalas who deliver every morning. (English were savages and have no real word for it)
Okay keep going. What has to happen before the milkperson delivers the milk?
I don’t, but good thing I’m not American so I don’t ingest that stuff.

It’s much worse than that, dairy itself is a problem.
