      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.

              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?

                I’m saying grocery stores don’t keep a pile of money segregated that only-comes-from-and-is-only-spent-on vegan food. when the 4th of July rolls around, they stock up on hotdogs with whatever money is on hand.

                I’m also saying your policy of not giving money to grocery stores just isn’t workable for most people.

                  Grocery stores keep budgets and expense reports. They downscale whatever products aren’t selling or making them money. It’s called running a business.

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

                    as I said, they don’t segregate the vegan money: they spend what money they have on what they want to spend it on.
