      interestingly, after you spend money, it’s not yours anymore, and you don’t get to decide how the recipient spends it.

        And that’s why you shouldn’t give your money to killers, or to people whose job is to pay killers.

            Most people do, that’s what happens when you buy meat. Your money pays for the animals to be abused.

                No, we just established that’s true. The farmers and slaughterers are paid by the grocery store, which is paid by the meat eaters. That’s where the money to abuse and kill animals comes from. If you don’t think they get their money from meat eaters, where do you think it comes from?

                  meat packers, I think.

                    You think the money that powers the meat industry comes from the pockets of meat packers?

                    Do you mean to say that grocery stores are spending money from vegan sales on meat orders to subsidize an area of the business that isn’t making them any money?

                  The farmers and slaughterers are paid by the grocery store

                  rarely. most grocers have a supply company.

                    The farmers and slaughterers are paid by the supplier, who is paid by the grocery store, who is paid by the meat eaters.
