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 don’t.
Most people do, that’s what happens when you buy meat. Your money pays for the animals to be abused.
we just established that’s not true.
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?
oh yes. there are like 3 of em in the whole country.

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.

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.
as I said above, even vegans spend money at grocery stores.
