Same for dairy.
It seems vegetarians are okay with lifelong encagement, and eventual killing, as long as they dont have to eat it. Leather is "vegetarian", and so are wool and silk.
But yes, veterinarians and fish makes no sense.
Leather can make sense to me until cows start being raised just for leather or the price of meat is such that it would be uneconomic if the price of leather was not factored in.
It doesn't to me. The alternatives are all plastics. So sure you're saving animal lives, but you're also just contributing to our oil addiction. It's like Christians picking and choosing which things to believe from the Bible, but with ethics instead.
They aren't for vegetarians stricto sensu, hence why ovo-vegetarians are distinguished.
> Same for dairy.
Yes, exactly the same for diary, which is why lacto-vegetarians are distinguished.
“vegeterian” ≠ “ovolacto-vegetarian”
We needed the word vegan because vegetarian was such a silly line in the sand ethically speaking (just dont eat their flesh!).
What you describe is more related to industrial production rather than vegetarianism - although I have to admit that it's still on point in this particular discussion.
Also the males are not needed of breeding breeds, they go straight to the wood chopper after they've hatched.
