Why I am not a vegan

Vitamin B12...nuff said

I don't understand. How is supporting the unnecessary torture and killing of sentient beings preferable to taking a simple, cheap supplement?

I was a vegetarian for many years before making the commitment to vegan. I rationalized that dairy was only a 'byproduct' of the meat industry. However, I was wrong. The dairy industry and the meat industry feed each other. The dairy industry causes extreme suffering, actual torture to dairy cows on a daily basis. They are injected with hormones to artificially increase milk production (which stays in the milk, by the way), resulting in crippling and extreme pain.

And that's not even getting into what they do to the calves...

The idea of 'milk from contented cows' is an obscene lie.
