      But you get to influence which decisions are profitable. When you pay them money in exchange for dead animals, you create incentive for them to arrange for there to be more dead animals

          Wow, you found a way to pay for corpses and somehow contrive yourself into not being responsible for the deaths

                this analogy doesn’t hold up: the meat is on a shelf and everyone has been paid before I decide whether to buy it.

                  Okay, let’s say there’s a serial arsonist who’s been burning down houses in your neighbourhood. Now he’s on GoFundMe asking for money to buy more gasoline. I like burned down houses, so I give him money with the knowledge he will use it to burn down your house.

                  Do I share any responsibility for what happened to your house?

                    I still don’t see how this is analogous: the meat industry doesn’t depend on my purchases any more than it depends on yours.

                    look at this chart. can you see when you went vegan?
