    based on your comments, you’re probably just a troll, buy just in case, here’s a really simple explanation.

    so i buy beans from a store. the store has fewer beans, so they buy more from the company that sells them. i don’t buy meat, so that is one less meat product that they have to restock. therefore, instead of giving my money to the meat industry, they give it to the bean industry. on a small scale, that obviously makes no difference, but if enough people stop buying meat, less meat will be produced, which leads to fewer animals being tortured.

        hey i didn’t say you are a troll, just that you probobly are one. and yeah, it’s true that they can do what they want with any money they get, but what they will do is use it to replace the things that people buy. otherwise, people stop buying things from them.

      the store gets to decide what to do with their money and they can choose to take the bean money and stock up on hotdogs for labor day.

          i doubt they’ll run out of beans. they probably already bought enough for the year on contract. same with the hotdogs, too, for that matter.

        some factory farms are torturing animals. depending on your definition, not all are, but the ones that remove pigs’ tails and castrate calves without sedatives are definitely torturing them.
