Umm, “veggans"?

The producer says most of her clientele are vegans...

This is one of the exceedingly rare occasions when I'm not on the side of bad punning. :|

When I became a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, eggs were the first additional thing I removed from my diet, and I remained a lacto-vegetarian until I went vegan.

I've read about this issue that chicken sanctuaries have before. Of course, they generate a lot of eggs, and in some cases even the owners eat them. It's difficult to finance animal sanctuaries (unless you rescue donkeys, I suppose), and, of course, the hens don't care about unfertilised eggs they lay, so selling them seems logical. However, there are enough omnivores around to make that a success without 'veggans' being among the customers. Notwithstanding the finance issues, I still think eggs should simply be left (or transferred outside the sanctuary) for other animals than humans to eat, but of course understand why sanctuary owners make that decision.
