No, I don't think that veganism is required by the WoW. However, I do think that D&C 49:21 requires me to be a vegetarian given the circumstances I have right now. Living in a developed town where I have no problem getting any kind of food I want, I would be lying to myself, to God, and to everyone else if I said that I "need" to kill animals (or pay someone else to do it for me).

Yes, one of the reasons I'm vegan is the conditions in which these products are produced. I could buy "free range" stuff, but you can't always trust this sticker, plus it's more expensive. And no matter whether it's a "free range" "happy" cow/chicken or a factory farm one, in the end they all end up on someone's table. So, by eating eggs/milk I would be supporting the meat industry.
Also, I don't want all the stuff that's in milk/eggs like fat, cholesterol, hormones, blood, pus, etc. entering my body. It's not good for me and simply gross.
