    Do you think if everyone in the world stopped buying meat, that the slaughterhouses would keep killing cows? I’m going to assume you don’t think that, and I’m going to assume you believe the slaughterhouses kill cows because people buy them.

    So let me know if you DON’T think that your and others’ purchasing of meat causes animal agriculture. Because I think you agree that your actions and others’ actions cause it.

      animal agriculture existed before anyone ever bought meat. purchasing meat didn’t cause animal agriculture.

            It’s too late to prevent murder from existing, so if I pay that assassin a million dollars to murder you, I don’t see how that changes the state of the world meaningfully

              you are engaging in an immoral conspiracy. no such conspiracy exists between me and slaughterhouses. your analogy is broken, and you should stop trying to make it work.

      no, do you have a plan to make that happen?
