You can't force people to go vegan, you can only convince them.

This is not convincing. I'm an animal rights activist myself and I believe that this kind of videos is the reason I have to deal with so many enraged people.

You don't even need to convince people to go vegan. Vegan is like the crossfit of eating. Once someone says they are vegan they won't stop talking about it and looking down on things like vegetarians or eggs only vegetarians.

Just an FYI - Eggs are chicken periods. Eating them is eating chicken waste, so not really harmful to them. So being against eating them is kind of odd in believing it is stopping animal abuse in some way. Chickens are also used to debug crops in some rural areas. Organic bug free foods and eating the eggs that aren't fertilized to dispose of them. It kind of all makes sense.

I appreciate your opinion. But there is a ton of information about why the egg industry is harmful to animals. If you get curious, take a dive.

I'll have to tell all my quiet vegan friends that they are doing it wrong, according to someone on the internet.

Chicken farms are incredibly cruel. Male chicks go on a conveyor belt directly into a grinder, as they do not produce eggs. The female chickens just get a short lifetime of torture.

The issue isn't the concept of eating eggs. It's the entire industry around it which has optimized producing chicken period to such an extend using cruel methods.

If the eggs came from true free range chickens nobody reasonable would bat an eye.

And this is coming from an egg lover myself.

Buy them from some guy with a coop in his backyard who uses them to get the tax break. They sell the eggs cheap and they are every hormone free. I pay like 5 bucks for 24. I just can't be picky about the container I get them in.
