Free-range cows are vegan?!
Free-range cows are vegan?
Just wanted to clear up a myth. If you drink milk from free-range cows, you are still a vegan. A lot of people think you are vegetarian for drinking milk, but that is not true.

No offense, some of you need to pick up a book on veganism and do some reading. I am positive if you drink milk from free-range cows, you are still vegan. You are not vegan, if the cow is kept on concrete inside a barn though.

no you are wrong vegans do not eat or drink any animal products
vegetarians on the other hand dont eat the flesh
i dont eat meat but try and avoid any labeling ie i am a non meat eater not a veggie or vegan
Sounds unlikely, but ok.
Not true, wtf are you smoking? Maybe your free-range cows have been ranging in the wacky weed patch?
Vegans don't drink milk!!!!! (I am unclear as to whether this includes human- how strict would that be?)
You are incorrect my friend. I wonder if your name gives us a little clue as to why you are so critical of vegens?
well i always thought cows were vegetarian until some lunatic started feeding them ground up cows and meat pellets causing the mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease.
who are these morons?
answer the genetically modified loony tunes
Just because it is a free-range cow doesn't mean it is no longer a cow...
A strict vegan does not consume or use any animal product. I know many definitions say that vegans want to 'exclude all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals'. But that's just the start of it.
Manipulating a cows teats on a daily basis to keep it lactating indefinitely constitutes exploitation; regardless of if you milk it on concrete or on clover.
Why do you think the cow is different when it steps off the concrete?
Vegan means they do not eat animal products or by products.
This means NO meat, milk, eggs or products from milk, eggs, or meat. Cows should be vegans if they are eating the correct diet. But, the meat is still not vegan.
Vegans view the dairy industry of being exploitive of cows not based on what the cow eats but more on how the cows are treated as well as their calves.
The cow gets bred every year so that she can continue to produce milk day in and day out. The calves are taken away from their mothers after a short time. Female calves grow up to become dairy cows. Half the calves are male. They usually go to the veal industry (another shop of horrors in its own right) since they cannot produce milk.
After a few years of use, the average dairy cow becomes hamburgers and petfood.
You're wrong. Vegans do not eat or wear and animal related products at all to avoid any form of exploitation of animals. A cow is still being kept in an unnatural way for humans benefits so it is not vegan.
My friend is vegan and I am vegetarian. I should know.
Look up the definition I hope that you are not just kiddng yourself.
Rubbish! Vegans do not consume any products related to animals so no milk, no eggs whatsoever freerange or not.
Some also say no to honey and will not wear wool and so on. Most vegetarians will not wear leather...
I actually agree with you.......
if veganism is not to consume products of exploited animals, who are forcefully bred and artificially inseminated................ then how can a free range cow be in this bracket? its allowed to roam and graze freely, and the calfs get all the antibodies needed from the mothers milk! and its milk doesnt contain pesticides and all these harmful substances!
maybe "vegan" isnt the right word, but i agree totally with what youre saying.
man has been drinking milk (and dairy products) for a very long time my friends, and the human body does need milk what ever you think. humans need glutathione found in the whey. and lecithin, butyric, lauric, myristic and stearic acids found in butter. and the probiotics in yoghurt! the list is endless with dairy produce.
im not saying stop being a vegan to all you, but the question poster is making sense. free range milk, is a great option, but vegan is probably not the right word.
No offense but there is only one definition for vegan...a person that does not use animal products. Last time I checked..a cow is an animal.
If You drink any cows milk free range or not , then the calves have to die.
considering that vegans don't consume any animal products or by products, i am 100% sure you are wrong as milk is an animal product.
and everyone that posts questions here is informed and intelligent...
oh no wait, thats bollocks as well.
good grief people. stop. think, THEN type. don't feed this guy.
No. That's like saying vegans can eat animals that died of natural causes.
Zero animals products, regardless of where they come from.
what a bizarre concept that is...whoever told u this info was winding u up surely......amazing u even fell for it. i think you shud pick that book up......
no no no no no no no no no u are WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! Vegans do not eat or drink ANY aninmal products. This includes any cows milk (and honey and shellac)
Vegan means eating nothing that comes from an animal-milk from cows is an animal product regardless of how the cow is kept so it isn't vegan.
Free range is certainly better than keeping them in small barns though.
Seriously though foxie-go and troll somewhere else.
I am a vegan...we do not drink any milk products
