I definitely understand your position (& like religion or politics) diet is a very personal issue to most people and one to be treated with respect.

For me personally, dairy just seems unnecessary. Out of all the animals on Earth, only humans - & out of that number, a minority of humans (mainly Caucasians) - continue to consume milk beyond infancy.
And while I'm positive there are small companies and humane dairy farms out there, they're definitely not the majority of what is consumed, and for me, not worth the risk of supporting abusive situations when I'm not sure where most of the products I see are actually coming from.

I'm certainly not trying to alienate folks on Zootoo, just putting some information out there that we are not regularly exposed to (or at least I'm not seeing it!). Plus, I've never been accused of being good at keeping my big trap shut on certain ideological matters!!!

Thanks Jim! Read Less

Not to mention the questionable methods in which many of these 'exotic' animals are bred, captured and exploited.

I think you were de-friended because your divine dinner deity is not Atkins friendly...
