Why I am a Vegan

milk, eggs etc should be OK as long as the animals aren't under poor conditions or murdered imo.

Unfortunately, for humans to consume milk, we have to slaughter the baby who was supposed to grow and be raised on the milk, which is why we eat veal and lamb. Egg production is pretty dependent upon killing all the males at infancy, as well. Also, we have bred chickens to be egg laying machines, which isn't good for them. A bird isn't supposed to lay an egg every day. A bird is supposed to lay an egg every day until it has a full clutch, however big that is for the species, and then it sits on the clutch and broods it. If you don't let a chicken build a clutch, it will constantly produce eggs in an effort to do so - an effort that will never come to fruition.
