Personally, I don’t see how forcibly impregnating cows and then taking their newborns away as soon as they are born in order to ensure we get all the milk could be considered cruel. Everyone knows that all non-human animals are simply automata with no ability to experience emotions. Cows, like dogs or cats, have no ability to feel so we can do anything we want to them.
Also, veal couldn’t exist without our wonderful dairy industry. Think of all those veal steaks you’d get rid of without the newborn males to slaughter from the dairy industry.
Vegans object to all forms of animal exploitation, and raising animals to take their eggs still involves a degree of that. Even in the most benign cases of free range, well taken care of chickens in the world, chickens have still been bred to lay an unnatural number of eggs, which is very hard on their bodies, and that’s being exploited by farming them for eggs.
For anyone who buys eggs instead, know that the animals are not kept in these benign conditions. Even ‘free range’ factory farmed chickens are kept in small enclosures, with only a small window to the outside. There are no store bought eggs that can remotely be considered ethical.
Not according to vegans, simply collecting eggs or milk is “abuse” and “rape” I’m told.

Ladies, theydies, and gentlemen: exhibit A.
When did I use either word you’re talking about? I’m here in support of the milk industry!

I know you will, hon.
Me too, sometimes they’re real hard to push out, sometimes they shoot out liquidy and make me sweat, either way it can be a lot of work.
Apparently tons of deer are killed to prevent them from reaching fruit crops… no diet is 100% animal cruelty free
I punch a dog whenever I eat a salad, just in case.
