If I help some mentally handicapped homeless women with newborn children, do you think it’s OK for me to milk these women since I’m helping them? Even if their milk taste the freshest?
Veganism is about not exploiting animals when you don’t have to.
Even in your scenario, there can be cruelty involved: the hatcheries you get your chickens from also grind the day old male baby chicks. These genetically modified egg laying hens that put about 1 egg a day have a huge strain on their bodies compared to what their natural counterpart used to be (red jungle fowl), laying about 1 egg a month.
But to reiterate, veganism is about not exploiting animals.
