    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

      Indeed. But also less effective.

      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
