    I think there’s some information you don’t know about milk and eggs: milk is produced by forcing a cow to be pregnant (they call the rack they tie them to for breeding the rape rack), and then forcibly removing her calves from her and stealing her milk. It’s terrible. And eggs are forced to be produced by grinding up male chicks so that females produce more. It’s honestly terrible.

      You are intentionally ignoring what they said about hens on their own property.

          I get eggs from our own chickens. Six chickens and a rooster. Hatched them myself, originally had two roosters. The other rooster went to a local petting zoo which had some hens, but their rooster had died.

          By the way, six chickens lay a lot of eggs, more than a family of four eats.

            But where did your chickens come from? They were sorted by sex and the males thrown in a grinder.

                  I got the eggs from my neighbour across the street. He also doesn’t own a grinder.

                  So we need to make chickens extinct, because at some point in their genetic history they might have been abused? Its impossible to treat someone well if there is any history of abuse in their lineage or ancestry?

                  If thats the ideology of veganism, you are worse than eugenicists.

      I’m referring more to small farm chickens or chickens that are basically pets (they still plop out tons of eggs). All of the factory farmed products are definitely terrible.

      And to clarify I’m not against veganism at all, just curious where/why lines are drawn.
