Isn’t this just vegetarianism at that point
Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan?
Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 11 hours agoSame argument could be used for Eggs and Milk then, those are not considered vegan, but in the end the animal does not get hurt.

Cows need to be impregnated by introducing an arm in their anus and holding their cervix so they can introduce a rod with semen in their uterus.
Male cows and chickens are useless to the industry so they usually get killed soon after birth.
Chickens usually are kept in cages the size of an A4 paper, cows also usually are very badly treated in order to be milked. Check out 3minutes.wtf so you can see that even what the industry calls the “best animal treatment” is still very inhumane.

But what about self farmed eggs?
It’s not uncommon for people in rural areas to have chicken around. Those chicken are taken care of, and roam around big spaces. Those chicken will also lay eggs on their own without any harm done to them. Most harm done is denying fertilization that would be similar to denying of reproduction to pet dogs or cats.
Situations happening in industrial farming are not universal.
