   @VeganMemes this fact was what made me become vegan when i was vegetarian and really didn't want to be vegan. it made not eating flesh bc it kills the animal but being fime with animal products seem completely inconsistent

     @lilli @VeganMemes it's the same with male baby cows made into veal. I was vegan for two years but I recently started eating fish again. very soon I'll go back to being vegan though flesh is kinda overrated.

     @georgia @VeganMemes i didn't realize male milk calves were used for veal, but it was obvious once i realized i couldn't keep eating eggs that milk wasn't going to be acceptable to me either by those standards

     @lilli @VeganMemes Is this a risk with all eggs or just some? I live in the UK.
     
     It's definitely not a risk with roadside eggs that probably come from chickens that roam people's backyards.

     @Hyolobrika @lilli @VeganMemes theres a technology that sexes chicks while still in the egg which is more ethical than what farmers normally do which is throw them off a moving vehicle or put them in a grinder or drown them but very few companies use this technology

     @Hyolobrika @VeganMemes it's pretty much universal. roosters and hens have a 50/50 split and having that many roosters is not useful to nearly all farmers. it would have to be a very inefficient farm which cares for its roosters

     @Hyolobrika @georgia @VeganMemes what you "have" to do is just what your conscience guides you to do. what i would encourage is not to think of it in totalizing terms. just take a step toward what you suspect doing better means. it's all steps

     @lilli @VeganMemes Maybe I'll visit some of the egg (and milk if there are any) places near me and see what's going on.
     
     I will say though that my family used to keep chickens for eggs while I was growing up and when we got a rooster we treated him well.

     @Hyolobrika @georgia @lilli @VeganMemes plant-based milks aren't hard to use and there are multiple kinds. the biggest problem I've had with avoiding dairy (in my experience) is that it's unnecessarily added to so many things because the dairy industry holds too much power

     @hotwheels @georgia @Hyolobrika @VeganMemes that really is the most annoying part. i had about a year where i had a "no dairy products except i'm not checking those stupid ingredient lists for random trace milks" phase before i cut it out completely

     The EU actually outlawed the killing of male chicks, but companies diverted to other shady business of course.
     
     There was a good German documentary about it, I think on ZDF.
     
     Basically they ship them to Poland, where they're raised in terrible conditions, then they're slaughtered and the meat shipped to somewhere in Africa. I forgot which country, but may be Ghana. May be multiple different countries...
     
     They have less meat than the ridiculous meat chickens our modern industry breeds, but they can outcompete the local chickens in the African countries they're shipped to, so they put the chicken farmers there out of business.
