      The point of that statement is about the impact of one death a day to an endangered species. So many farm animals being bred and then killed raises other ethical considerations and negative impacts but is not relevant to what this sentence tries to convey.

          In any case Im questioning the milk, cheese and eggs?

          Milking does not kill the animal and the eggs we eat are not fertilised.

            Mammals have to be pregnant to lactate. Farmers forcefully inseminate the cows and kill the majority of the babies of dairy cows.

            Only female chickens lay eggs so the males are killed at one day old in big blenders or gas chambers.
