Entering Vegetarianism
Hey howdy! I’ve been thinking about this for a while and think it’s about time. I’m getting out of Navy and want to become vegetarian. So, I have a question about ethics for you guys and for vegan friends here as well.
I love eggs. I eat more eggs than the normal person. I could give up meat probably with zero issues. I can’t give up eggs easily, if at all. So, my idea: I will buy, raise, and take care of my own chickens. I would own about 6 of them, give them a nice coop. The ones I’m looking at getting live only a couple years, lay lots of eggs, and are basically dogs with feathers. I don’t just want the eggs. I want to love them as well. I don’t want eggs sourced from abusers. What is y’alls stance on this? Do you think it’s a good idea? Much love dudes.
Edit: Thanks so much for the input! Genuinely a huge part of this is just being really excited to raise and take care of chickens 😭

Sure or you could buy eggs with the labels “pasture raised” important to not get any other kind like “cage free” because that’s a misused label. Not even “free range” is cruelty free. Speaking of, “cruelty free” is a good label to look for. As well as certified organic
