I find myself curious about this. I do understand the desire to avoid things such as leather or eggs, as it results in the death of an animal. However, what are the reasons (minus rare allergies) as to why vegans do not use wool or dairy products? These items don't result in any harm or injury to an animal, and are the result of natural processes.
Why do vegans not use wool or dairy products?

I am a vegetarian and this thought has come to mind often too. I think the reason they don't use dairy products is because the suction things they use in the cows has been said to hurt the animal, it won't cause any harm, but it can put strain on it, I'm not completely sure though. But with the wool thing I don't really know because she shaving won't hurt, injure or do anything to a sheep. Hope this helps! :)
The concept is goofy from the start. For instance, an egg is not a chicken. Hens lay eggs without a rooster around, so they are lifeless. Second, any animal with incisor teeth must eat animal products to stay alive. The bible says "kill and eat", so their religious patter is bogus. Nobody knows any good reason for making up your own designer religion.
Vegans do not participate and support in anything that involves the exploitation of the vulnerable i.e animals. It does not matter that it does not hurt the animal that we get the wool from it's the fact that it's being taken and it's not ours to take. As for dairy products it does result in the harm of animals. The female cow that is being imprisoned for her life to provide milk to us that is supposed to go to her calf is being harmed in all ways. Just because she isn't being beaten (which im sure that happens) doesn't mean she ins't being harmed. Also, any time a cow is producing milk it has to be pregnant. Cows are basically raped for milk. They are involuntarily inseminated by the arm of farmers. And as for the baby that is born once the pregnancy is over, if it is a male calf it is immediately taken away and killed for veal. Anything that involves the exploitation of animals is doing harm to everyone.
To follow vegan and vegetarianism both are different things, as vegan needs to follow the concept of animal free products as we know that wool and dairy products are also prepared from the animal products. While vegetarianism followed people does not took the things like eggs and meat or chicken.
So vegans relate to the only products that are not connected found from animal related product and also it would be organic products.
Also a dairy cow is only kept for about 4-6 years and is then killed for meat.
