Vegetarians aren’t real because they still support mass murder of animals! (partly /s)

Just curious, how are they doing that?

Eating eggs -> financially supporting a system where male chicks get either immediately killed after birth or more rarely are later killed for their meat. Also it is supporting a system where chickens are bred to produce as many eggs as fast as possible, which means a life of torture to them
Drinking milk -> financially supporting a system where cows are continuously impregnated against their will and where their offspring is immediately taken from them and killed for their meat (I think this is done yearly). Also it is supporting a system where cows are bred to produce as much milk as fast as possible, which means a life of torture to them
There are certainly many more atrocities happening, but I’m trying not to think too often of that stuff

I would guess by eating diary, eggs, leather, etc. I heard this take just yesterday, and I can see a point, because most animal industries don’t treat animals well even when it’s not about killing the animal

leather is mainly a waste product, no one actually kills animals for their skins (except animals that are valuable to humans only for their skin but those are the exception), so idk if i would count the use of leather :shrug:

Now you’re asking the questions they don’t want you to ask
