I really don't see why you should go vegan, since most dairy animals actually lead pretty decent lives. also, why do you make such a great effort to feel pain for something that is not associated with you?
Aside from that, would your opinion change if the animals were killed in an entirely humane manner? I can assure you that nature doesn't give us any rights to begin with, and that the absence of pain is a blessing. Have you seen the way a wild predator kills?

And so far as I know, I've never seen a dairy cow mistreated, since that tends to reduce milk yields. Also, the increased amounts of milk that we get from cows these days are due to selectively breeding the cows that gave the most milk. The amount of milk we take from them is actually helpful, because their calves don't drink all of it (just ask any nursing mother
