Or, more controversally, stop paying for meat. I personally have no ethical problem with shoplifting meat. To buy meat is unethical because it supports the meat industry. To shoplift is to punish and deter those causing harm.
The only thing that stops me from shoplifting meat is I cannot be bothered to study the art of it and then take on the risks of getting caught.
Not eating it is much easier than stealing it. But I don’t have a problem with others doing it, as long as they only do it in huge evil chain stores, not small family-owned businesses
I consider vegans neutral. They neither help nor hinder the industry of animal products. I love this quote by Desmond Tutu:
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
I live in a country with stagnating and sinking meat consumption. The producers are definitely feeling it. Remember that in capitalism, anything but growth is a tragedy

Indeed. But also less effective.
