Bees STORE honey for flower-less winters

They do not create “excess” for your taking

Deer and all animals naturally overpopulate and depopulate as the population threshold is reached

They are NOT permanently overpopulated and in need of super-predators. There is no “excess” of any wild animal

Cows create breast milk for their calfs and only their calf. There is no extra milk left when a calf is breast feeding.

Dairy cows are ripped from their newborns so their milk can be harvested. There is only “excess” when a cow has no baby to feed.

Fish communicate through sound waves that travel farther and we can not hear. They are very social, creating bonds and relationships. Even sharks have been observed expressing playfulness, fear, and joy. They are sentient and feel pain.

All types of fishing reap anything and everything it’s it’s way, this includes dolphins and turtles who often drown in fishing nets. Unwanted fish are thrown back into the ocean, who often die soon after due to the rapid change in pressure. If hunted fish to not suffocate in cramped containers, they’re throats are slit and bleed to death. Fishing is cruel and unsustainable. There is no “excess” of fish

Chickens eat their own eggs when they know it is not fertilized. This helps them get valuable nutrients and calcium back. A hen left to herself only creates 12 eggs a year

Egg laying hens are selectively bred to make eggs as fast as possible. Their eggs are taken away from them before they get a chance to get the nutrients back. To ensure hens do not eat their eggs before they are stolen, their beaks are sawed with heat off at the tip. This creates untold pain to their sensitive body part. Because hens make so many eggs and they are not allowed to get their nutrients back(it take 10% of a hen’s bone calcium to create 1 egg), they often have broken bones due to osteoporosis. When egg production declines, hens are shocked into rapid egg laying through starvation (forced moulting).

There is no “excess” of eggs without hens going through suffering and abuse.

Animals are not ours to harvest. They are sentient and deserving of rich, fulfilling lives. If you want to help end this suffering, go vegan. There are many resources online to help you through your journey and transition.
