      They’re paid because there is demand for their bloodshed and torture. Supply and demand. If consumers stopped demanding it the supply would diminish

              So hilarious to hear this from a fellow commie lmao. You think the same with Nestlé selling water? If no one supported Nestlé they’d continue to bottle up local water supplies and heavily upping the prices? They’d continue to use effectively slave labor for cocoa?

        supply and demand isn’t a magic phrase that makes your theory true. there is no reason to believe animal husbandry will ever stop before people are extinct.

          Each person’s purchases directly lead to consequences. Paying for animal products kills over 200 animals a year per person who does it reguarly. Even if animal abuse will never end it doesn’t mean we should empower or continue supporting it. Especially 3 times a day.

              Because the consumers paid for that to occur. Paying for steaks makes it so a cow will be bred and killed.

                    supermarkets often buy from suppliers who themselves are just middlemen. but regardless, all of those people are agents with free will, so no one else can be said to be resposible for their actions except the person who is doing teh action.
