It always weirds me out when vegetarians who allow eggs and dairy (milk) in their diet claim to support that lifestyle based on moral reasons.

The dairy industry could possibly be the cruelest of the 'factory farming' processes, and it would make sense to eliminate diary from the diet if you're to embark on any kind of vegetarian lifestyle based on morals/ethics.

But then again, I don't get vegans/vegetarians who own meat eating pets either. They adopt an "I don't care what you think" attitude with swiftness at that very notion that they might be hypocrites, it astounds me. You can judge the meat industry and factory farmer, but let's dare not point out the meat eating pets of professed vegetarians and vegans.
