I really didn't mean to get into this discussion, but I'll answer a
few of your points:

I can't speak for all vegans, but for me it's an issue of consent and
exploitation.  We don't ask cows, goats, etc. if they're okay with us
taking their milk, and if they're answering, we can't tell.  We just
take it. whether they like it or not.

Willing to give up their milk?  What makes you say that?  We keep
them in a permanent state of artificial pregnancy so they never dry
up.  That can't be much fun.

Human mothers who breast feed consent to the procedure.  If they
don't, they buy formula.

Re: peso - perfect pizza

2010-11-17 Thread Steven Desjardins
An observation:

My daughter is in the Peace Corps in Benin.  She gets to see a more
traditional version of husbandry than the first world assembly
bovine assembly line.  Most of the milk there is from goats.  The
goats are protected and given safe space in which to feed.  There sit
on Tracie's porch and on occasion she found one sleeping in here bed.
 It would be no big deal to run away and they don't.  Given the lack
of speech, this is the best you can do for consent.  Of course, the
locals cheerfully kill these animals for dinner when needed.  This is
not a moral issue for them, just the food chain.  Over here in North
America, the whole process is so industrialized that it's hard for
most of us to see this as any part of nature.
