I was thinking more along the lines of the survival rating of cruise ships soaring thanks to a lack of iceburgs. Oh, that and the Dutch returning to the sea from whence they came.

It's a gradual process. You don't just hop right into it.

I imagine it does take a bit of time. Telling every person you've ever met that you're now a vegan can't happen overnight.

You say killed. So then what's your problem with Milk?

Okay, also harming. I'm against animal cruelty.

For a cow to produce milk, it has to become pregnant first. They impregnate the cow by inserting their arm far into it's rectum to position the uterus as they force an instrument into her vagina. This is called a "rape rack." The calf that is born from this process, if it is female, it will go through the same thing it's mother did. If it is male, it is castrated and slaughtered after four months. To kill cows, they tie it to the ceiling by it's hoof so that it's upside-down, slitting it's throat open while it is conscious, and even if it's still conscious, they proceed to skin it alive.

Also, the machines they use to pump the milk out of their udders harms them. This is why your milk has pus and blood in it.

I'd believe it. I just couldn't do it myself though.

If you lived with me, you would be most of the time. My cooking is superb, my roomies always have me cooking for them. C: They on occasion give in to their fast food and whatnot... But I yell at them and bribe them back to me with cookies and other baked goods.
