Ethical vegans believe that it is seriously immoral to eat animal-based products and bring into existence these animals whose lives would be miserable.

JOONA ROSANEN: Moral vegans believe that we should not eat animals or animal-based products, such as eggs or milk, because producing them causes unnecessary suffering to animals. Eating meat or animal-based products is not necessary. It is morally wrong. Likewise, we should not wear fur or leather, or use animals in any other ways that cause them unnecessary suffering. Antinatalists believe that having children is morally wrong for similar reasons.
