Vegans Don't Bury Their Heads In The Sand

An article about going vegan for a month notes:

"So why do otherwise perfectly sane people become tofu-powered vegans when vegetarianism already covers the killing of animals?"

"The answer is multifold. First, egg and dairy production requires only the female of the species, so the surplus males are killed at birth or when very young."

"There is also the view that the treatment of farmed animals is cruel (and this includes bees)."

"It is an uncomfortable fact that, as a meat eater, I am very happily complicit in being removed from the knowledge of how my meat gets to be on my plate, but vegans do not believe in burying their heads in the sand."



Yes, vegans don't bury their heads in the sand.
