      Vegan is about consent. If you consent to your sperm being eaten or breast milk being drunk, it’s all vegan.

        Idk if I would classify it as that. A plant cannot consent, yet a cow walks to the milking machine to be milked.

          Don’t cows only produce milk after giving birth, which is why they are inseminated to keep them in a perpetual pregnant then milk producing cycle?
          Not sure i would classify that as consenting

            Cows can produce milk indefinitely if they’re continuously milked, but the yield goes down and it’s bad for their health. Most farmers allow the udder to rest a couple of months a year to maximise profits, which necessities impregnation.
