Comments on: Animal cruelty stories across the nation…and why not to drink Milk http://libertarianvegan.today.com/2009/01/18/animal-cruelty-stories-across-the-nation/ in defense of liberty for all sentient beings Sun, 27 Dec 2009 08:59:27 +0000 http://www.today.com/version-2.3.1 By: libertarianvegan http://libertarianvegan.today.com/2009/01/18/animal-cruelty-stories-across-the-nation/#comment-166 libertarianvegan Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:50:50 +0000 http://libertarianvegan.today.com/2009/01/18/animal-cruelty-stories-across-the-nation/#comment-166 do you really not see how ridiculous that argument is? What is the point of giving life if you are doing it only with the intention of slaughtering it? There is nothing natural and nothing nutritionally necessary about drinking cow's milk. Just like humans, it is meant for their offspring when they are babies. They do not feed their offspring milk after they have matured. Likewise, humans feed their babies human milk only when they are babies. The only milk natural to humans is human milk - would you drink your mother's milk today? Or if a mother, continue to feed it to your child long after they are grown? Sounds ridiculous, right? Well what is the difference between that and what we do with cow's milk? do you really not see how ridiculous that argument is? What is the point of giving life if you are doing it only with the intention of slaughtering it?

You may quell about how wrong we are in taking milk that is not of our species and killing thousands of cows, but how do you factor into that argument that it is our non-vegetarian practices that have given lives to countless more cows, pigs, chickens etc than there would ever be without us?

Soymilk is good stuff. Rice milk is okay, but usually too thin for me. I'm told almond milk is good, but I'm allergic to nuts, so have never tried it. Actually, I think my favorite is hemp milk. It is not as easy to find and is more expensive, but it has a good taste and is full of good stuff that makes the body happy. Nice! Soymilk is good stuff.

It tastes like cereal milk to me lol - which makes it that much better in cereal. I’ve actually started to grow fond of soymilk.
