The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

People get really uncomfortable when I point this out, or offended at the idea that an animals freedom to not live in adverse conditions and be slaughtered could be compared to a human's freedom not to eat meat.
