The oyster is harmed when people farm for pearls. True vegans don't wear them.
As for the dairy cows, they are horribly mistreated. Here's a site that might help: www.milksucks.com. They are a no-holds-barred website, viewer discrection advised.
(LOL. I've always wanted to say that!)
I hope that helps. :-)

Oysters are killed for the pearls. The oyster needs to be open to get the pearl and once they are open, they die. Veganism is a lifestyle choice to avoid all animal products..period.

What vegan told you it was okay? Very strict vegans/animal rights people won't wear pearls or leather shoes, etc.

watch this peta video if you want to know why. It involves calves taken from their mothers and killed so we can have the milk meant for them (ie veal).

Nobody can say whether one is "ok" and the other isn't. Its all a matter a personal opinion.
