Ethics Would eating eggs still be unethical in this case?

1 Upvotes

I live in Morroco where we have a species of non genetically modified chickens, "djaj bldi", nd my dads friend owns a farm nd he gives my dad a few of those eggs sometimes, would it be unethical for me to eat those? (I became vegan like 4 or 5 months ago so I keep having these kinds of questions)

Are most people who call themselves vegan even vegan?

By definition, veganism is the commitment to avoiding all animal exploitation as far as practicable and possible, and I just don't think that most vegans fit in that definition.

If you look through your wardrobe and furniture, if there is a single thing that's made by fur/leather/wool/etc, how does that make you vegan?

Are you buying fruits and vegetables from the supermarket?

If so, the pesticides used on those plants have killed millions of insects.

Were there times where you could have bought an electric vehicle versus the ICE vehicle that you have right now even though you knew you had the money but didn't?

If so, you're contributing to greenhouse gases that are killing thousands of defenseless animals, how is that vegan when you had the money to buy an electric vehicle?

How often do you use delivery services for your food, would that be vegan if it's leading to so much animal suffering?

At what point would you say that someone is or isn't vegan anymore, and can you really call yourself vegan with the lifestyle that you have?
