While I respect some one's wanting to bake any way they like; please be aware that by "saving" animals while baking--from what? IF you don't like caged eggs--buy cage free. If you don't like butter--Why DO you hate America? But seriously--if you think you are saving animals by NOT using their products--esp non-life taking products like butter and eggs--you should think this thru. If we don't USE these animal products--the animals themselves have NO reason to exist and will die out --go extinct--if WE don't take care of them. We do not have the resource to keep animal species that serve no other useful purpose and cannot not exist in the wild. Dairy cows are not likely to be needed if no one uses dairy products. Butter; cream; milk; --gone. Along with the cows. You are calling for extinction here! No one can do dairy cow "rescue" in a NYC apartment--and farms don't have the land to spare to house animals with no purpose. The vet care alone would bankrupt them. This also applies to : pigs; sheep; goats; chickens; domestic ducks and geese; all of which would go extinct if we don't have a USE for them. And that would be very sad. Ironically about the ONLY "animal" we domesticate and NEED for other reasons than direct food production is--the Honey Bee.
