The animal industry for food is not any better.
If we love animals, how can we take what is the most precious to them - their life?
"Animals do not 'give' their life to us, as the sugar-coated lie would have it . . . They struggle and fight to the last breath, just as we would do if we were in their place." [John Robbins]

Cows in the milk industry gets impregnated each year against their will, have their babies stolen only one/a few day years old each year (the male calves get killed a few months old). "Milk cows" are on average killed when they are 5 years old, after their milk have been stolen during all of their lives; and most of the time they have both been bearing a baby in their stomach and been having their milk stolen meanwhile.

And that animals are viewed as property is the cause of the most horrendous abuses in the animal industry (Like those that can be seen in www.earthlings.com ). I recommend this video about "Animals as property" and how this makes animals completely vunerable.
"Animal law"-regulation has no real effect as long as animals are viewed as property and people perpetuate this status with ever non-vegan choice.

And the justification of eating dead animals is indeed the same justification that people use for wearing fur.
We all agree that “unnecessary” animal suffering and death are morally wrong. If that means anything at all, it must mean that we cannot justify animal suffering and death by reasons of pleasure or convenience. But what is our best justification for imposing suffering and death on the 56 billion animals (excluding fish) we eat annually?
Pleasure. Convenience.
So the only justification we have is that which we agree cannot suffice. This is moral schizophrenia.

It is terrible with fur. Poor beings who want to live and get their lives stolen.
If we want to live, we shouldn't cause any other being to lose their life.

If we don't want someone else to steal our family, we shouldn't steal their family.
If we want to find our purpose in this world, we shouldn't steal others purpose.
If we don't want to be exploited and abused, we shouldn't abuse anyone else.
If we don't want to become enslaved, we shouldn't keep anyone else as a slave.
If we don't want to hurt any animals, we must become vegans (i.e. stop eating, wearing and using animal products, and in other ways do actions that are hurting and killing animals).
If we love animals, we don't kill animals. We don't kill and eat anyone that we love. If we love animals, we must support their want to not be oppressed, including not to be killed.

All kind of animal products, including eggs and milk, are causing humans and other animals terrible suffering, oppression, starvation and death. Being vegan is the only way not to participate in the oppression.
