I believe you're confusing veganism with vegetarianism. Most vegetarians aren't so much concerned with the use of animal products as they are with their direct consumption of them. If that were the case, they wouldn't be eating cheese at all (like a vegan), let alone concern themselves with rennet.

The point with rennet and isinglass is that it requires that you kill an animal to procure. Same with gelatin. I guess technically you could find an animal that's already dead and take the stuff, but that's not what happens in an industry. The point with vegetarians is to avoid killing animals to consume parts of their body.

Not necessarily. At any rate, vegetarians should know that dairy cows are killed prematurely, and that the dairy industry feeds the veal industry.
