My beliefs boil down to: As a boycott, whether or not any one person buys animal products matters much less than if we get as many people not buying animal products as possible. Or more precisely, our goal is the total destruction or the meat industry, not just changing our consumer choices.

And, because the meat industry will continue murdering as long as we fail to destroy it, buying their products is harmful because it indicates there is still demand for their murder, not because it is murder directly in and of itself. Is there a difference? Kind of. It helps up both keep in mind that veganism is a radical movement, not a diet, and that our family members aren’t sociopaths. Or maybe I’m just coping.
