I mean, if an elephant dies what do they do with the body?

    It is so hypocritical that it’s unpopular with zoo-goers that come to look at animals in cages, while wearing leather and eating other animals.

    If you’re against exploitation of animals, please align your actions with your morals and live vegan.

        Didn’t say anyone should be perfect, just apply your morals consistently

          “If you don’t apply your morals consistently, don’t bother applying them at all”…?

          Human beings are not rational actors. It’s a recipe for burnout and depression to walk around expecting them to be.

          For anybody feeling the way parent commenter feels, do yourself a favor and let it go. We’re human beings. What we are is what we are.

      you don’t have to be vegan to help stop animal cruelty. there are many, many humane and legit ways to help animals without veganism. not drinking milk or eating eggs doesn’t matter.

                The only way you can have cows milk is by impregnating cows. Google how this is done, there is tutorial videos on YouTube. It is horrible.

                The only way people have egg laying hens is by killing the male chicks. This happens even with backyard chickens.

                Be real man.

                The vast majority of that is through factory farming. It’s a cheap cop out from personal responsibility saying you only “buy local animal products.” You probably eat at restaurants or at friends’ houses without checking the source of those.
