Dunkin' Cruelty?

I just read an update on Facebook by someone who is a comedian Carol Leifer and she is asking people to support this.  It's called Dunkin' Cruelty.  It's a website that someone has created, most likely someone from PETA, to urge people to beg Dunkin' Donuts to stop using eggs and dairy in their donuts.

You know, I am all for helping animals from animal cruelty and all but how exactly is this going to impact the egg and dairy industry?  First of all they are urging them to stop using eggs AND dairy yet they only talk about how cruel the chickens are treated, not about the cows.  And 2nd of all, what the hell do you think they serve at EVERY restaurant in the world?  Eggs and Dairy.  So why is it that out of all the restaurants in the whole world you are pickin' on Dunkin' Donuts?

How horrible are their donuts going to taste with no eggs in them?  I mean seriously.  Why not just boycott Dunkin' Donuts and get it over with instead of begging them to bland up their donuts?  How exactly do you make a donut without eggs?

I guess I don't see the point in this.  Human beings need eggs for protein and they need dairy to build strong bones.  Eggs are not fertile, they aren't going to be a future chicken since they are not fertilized by a male and the milk is produced by cows daily anyway so why can't all the carnivores enjoy their eggs and milk and leave us alone?

You can read about some of the cruelties in the dairy industry on that site, which was launched by Compassion Over Killing: http://www.dunkincruelty.com/eggs-and-dairy

And check out what some Dunkin Donuts stores are doing in response to consumer demand as well as steps taken by other companies after hearing from consumers about these issues:

Taking eggs and dairy out of our diets doesn't mean skimping on flavor. There are vegan donuts out there that taste just like the \real thing\ but are cholesterol-free and cruelty-free.
