but I'm not paying the store to pay the farmer. I'm paying for a product.
further, artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. it is not rape.
Buying the product increases the demand for the product making the store want to provide the product so they purchase it from the farmer. If nobody bought cow milk from the store then the store wouldn't buy from the farmer and then the cows wouldn't be milked.
And I believe the "rape of animals" vegans refer to is taking their milk without consent. I'm not an expert on either side of the argument so I may be wrong.
Nah they're referring to the insemination of the cows. Gotta keep getting the cow pregnant and take away it's babies to get milk. Gotta inseminate the cows as soon as you can so you're not feeding them with no return. That's a basic factor of dairy farming you can't get away from no matter how you try. If you believe in animal personhood you should find it abhorrent. I don't.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that for me!
I stopped consuming animal products for three years waiting for this utopia everyone parrots but every time I went to the grocery store the shelves were stocked exactly as they were before I stopped before waking up and realizing it was a pointless escapade of dealing with a situation akin to burying your head in the sand about global warming because you ‘recycle’.
milking isn't rape, either.
the. store makes their own decisions. I don't decide for them
Yes you do. But you are either being dense or a troll. Have a good day
no one at the store has free will, but I do?
calling me names doesn't change the fact that I'm right
