Dedicated to cruelty free living through a vegan lifestyle.

For today’s episode, vegan Pastor Frank talks about why eating eggs is not without harm. Eggs do not belong to humans. Hens are genetically manipulated and starved (“forced molting”) to make them produce more eggs than they would normally, which greatly taxes their bodies and bones by depriving them of calcium. In the natural, hens will often eat unfertilized eggs to restore calcium back to their bodies, but they can’t when humans steal their eggs. Female humans do not want their reproductive systems controlled by others, yet we have been deceived to believe that it’s okay to control the reproductive processes of other animals and steal their babies, milk, and eggs. This is speciesism! And what about male chicks who are useless to the egg industry? They are killed shortly after birth in one of three ways: ground up alive in a macerator, suffocated in plastic bags, or thrown away in the trash. This is all legal and a great sin! Our hearts have grown hardened. And chickens in backyards fare no better, as they are often neglected and viewed as mere commodities, a means to an end. Every time we buy or eat eggs, we are contributing to a slave system that causes pain, suffering, and death.  We do not live with love and compassion by partaking in this exploitative and oppressive system. Eating the flesh, milk, and eggs of nonhuman animals is being conformed to this corrupt, evil world; it is not the heavenly, peaceful Will of God. There is no right way to do the wrong thing. The Lord is sovereign over all creation and calls us to live in loving kindness, mercy, and peace. Listen to learn more.
