    Vegetarianism is not enough. Cows are murdered at a few hours old if they have the misfortune of being male, or unwanted “stock” if they’re female. Male chicks are killed at a few hours old because they’ll never produce eggs. Vegetarians preach love for animals, but they’re hypocrites. dairy and eggs are so cruel.

      I agree. I was vegetarian for 3-4 years and realized that if I was doing it for the animals, I couldn’t keep consuming eggs and dairy, or any other animal product for that matter. Been a vegan for more than 10 years now

          Ye man I could infer that from your earlier comment :D
          Just a tip: I agree with everything you say, but if our goal is to change peoples’ behavior, it is detrimental to call the hypocrites (and similar adjectives). That creates cognitive dissonance, and people usually double-down on their old behavior when faced with cognitive dissonance instead of changing their behavior. What I’ve found works best to make people go vegan is instead of calling them out on their behavior, show them positive examples of veganism, and let them do the math.

            This is true. I was probably a bit rash calling them hypocrites. it just makes me so angry.
