    yea. but the people doing the caging and killing are paid before that meat ever lands in a supermarket or restaurant. and they’re usually paid by the people who own the facility.

        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?

                    rarely. most grocers have a supply company.
