I've been a vegetarian for years, don't buy leather, steer away from glue. I don't want 2 contribute 2 animal suffering. But, cows get sick if they're not milked and how does gathering honey hurt bees? I don't understand how these things 'exploit' animals. I'm not criticizing, I just don't get it. I understand the cruelty of dairy farms. What's wrong with consuming organically raised dairy products? How is gathering honey ever cruel? Enilighten me if u can.

I agree under certain conditions. I think that we all have to work for a living and so should cows and bees. And, I agree that if we are feeding the cows then the least they can do is pay us back with some milk. Good so far? Well, I also know that some dairy farmers treat cows like ****, slaughter them when they get old, etc... So, if I could find a way to guarantee humane treatment of the cows I would be okay with it. But, how do we do this. Living in a world where only 1% of people are vegan and believe in the rights of animals how can we ever guarantee that they will be. Our government will never inspect to see if they are treated properly because they believe in killing the poor things, so why would they care if they were beaten or forced to stand on a broken leg. It is an issue and until farmers are willing to come out and offer some sort of a guarantee that they or their employees do not abuse the animals we need to protest. Protesting will hit the farmers in their pockets and a market will develop for people that respect animal rights. This market will offer a farmer an incentive to put a stamp on his milk that guarantees and offers routine inspections to guarantee the safety of the animal worker.

I don't eat meat either but I eat dairy products. Because for example, drinking cow milk is only a concept of sharing to survive. There is nothing wrong with sharing, it's not like I'm killing the cow to get the milk.I think It's fair between the cow and the human because after all the farmer has taken care of the cow. Repaying for the good deeds of the farmer, the milk and the cheese will be the only humane beneficial that a cow can give.

Well for some radical Vegans eating a plant is ok......eating an animal is not.
How about this one? Every living thing starts as a seed one way or the other. While these radical Vegans are pulling their veggies from the ground, tearing apart their roots til they bleed, separating families, and THEN they slaughter that veggie with a KNIFE!! How could they do such a thing? They are killing a life form!

With milk or honey you are taking a baby's food supply.
I picked some strawberries today, the plants were screaming and crying but I ignored them. Was I bad???

Vegans don't have enough nourishment to make good decisions. I don't understand about the cow thing either. (Never thought about the bees).
