I understand why people don't eat meat but what is the explanation behind not eating eggs or drinking milk? Is it health related? A hen lays eggs anyways and a cow has to be milked, otherwisee the cow would be in pain.
Cows are constantly impregnated by farmers and are milked for many hours during the day, once cows have gave birth their young are taken away from them, female calf's are raised to become dairy cows and male calf's are raised to be slaughtered, the process keeps recycling. On top of this cows are likely to never see their young ever again, cows live a lot less because of exhaustion and illnesses.
Hens are genetically modified/bred to produce a lot more eggs than they would naturally produce in the wild and are caged for most if not all their life until the same as the above happens they either die of exhaustion of illness.
The reproduction process Is just as messed up as the cows, chicks are separated males are either sold for slaughter or killed where as female chicks are raised to produce eggs and then the process is repeated.
I'm sure I may have missed something else from the above, I've found a short video for both I recommend you watch.
You really need to ask yourself, "do you think this is natural? Do you not find this morally wrong?"
EDIT: Milk should be reserved for cows young rather than being mass produced for human consumption, do you know of any other mammal or race on the planet that takes milk from another animal?
