Comparing dairy cows to human slaves to make this silly argument exemplifies just about every logical fallacy I can think of. If you don't like food made from animals or animal by-products, then don't' eat it. But your methods of persuading others not to drink milk are laughable at best. I can make the case for not being vegan just by reversing your statement: the liberal activists have brainwashed thousands into thinking that drinking milk and eating milk is bad for you! Does this have any logical basis, just because I say it is so? Of course not. The plain fact is that humans have used milk and animal products for hundreds of thousands of years because humans are omnivores and we need the variety of nutrients that these products provide for healthy survival. So, again, if you have a logical argument to make, feel free to do so. But please, keep the loco paranoia and fanatical nonsense off what could prove to be an otherwise intelligent message board. Lastly, read my guideline on learning how to think for yourself, and open yourself up to a whole new world of reason and logic. Got common sense?
