It's very possible to get egg and dairy from farms with happy animals. You gotta pay for it, but that just demonstrates market desire for non-cruel farm products so I pay happily.

The fact that you eat eggs/dairy doesn't invalidate the entire exercise. Cutting meat out of your diet reduces animal cruelty significantly. While going all the way is better from an animal cruelty perspective there are other factors to consider (going all vegan is hard).

Getting a few chickens, if it's an option, can help with the latter :).
