I don't think being vegan helps animals. CMV.

I don't see the benefit in not eating animal products such as milk. I made a tumblr post about this earlier, and it seemed to piss off alot of people. Cows will still need to be milked, and chickens will still lay eggs (regardless of whether or not the eggs are fertilized, so technically, by eating an egg, you are not eating a baby chicken). I feel bad for the animals that are mistreated in facilities, but as long as the animals are properly cared for before they are used for their products and come from high quality sources, I don't see how being vegan helps. I am really interested to see the responses, because I feel pretty strongly on this.

Well then what ways can we limit the suffering of these animals?  Currently, these factory farms are the only way to produce meat and eggs in a way that can actually meet demand.  If you want to end this suffering, you must reduce the market and demand for meat.  Once companies realize that treating animals like this is bad for buisness, they're going to try and keep their current customers by raising animals in a way that doesn't make the market cringe.  

Vegans reduce demand for meat and make it possible and necessary for companies to institute less efficient models of food production.
