No hate or disrespect, but vegetarians please stop claiming to be on the "same team". Dairy and eggs are just as harmful as the flesh industry. If you care about other animals please keep learning cos you're not living in alignment with those values.

I was vegetarian for 17 years. I wasn't transitioning. I wasn't learning. I was tricked by the animal industry, and spent 17 years paying for abhorrent animal suffering and exploitation that I claimed to be against, but refused to look into.

Don't get stuck like I did.

Some resources, because I know this can be confusing. Here's what I didn't know about the dairy industry all those years I was vegetarian.

CONTENT WARNING: dairy industry standard practice.

Here's an example of how our flagship animal "welfare" charities treat those trapped in the dairy industry. https://twitter.com/saminalrights/status/962958805100367873?s=20

In the egg industry, only females are required, so the males are all gassed or ground up alive on their first day of life. This happens whether we buy "free range", "organic" or "caged" eggs. The female hens are all slaughtered after around a year. https://twitter.com/RSPCA_official/status/993289946772459520?s=19

These are just a few examples of the things that were hidden from me throughout my years as a vegetarian. There is no way I would have supported the dairy and egg industries if I had known sooner. They are deceiving us. We need to be smarter.
