    It’s the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don’t even want it for free.

    No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.

      If more people held themselves accountable, these products wouldn’t exist. I know it can be an awkward situation to deny a gift for ethical reasons. Kudos to you.

      What would you say to vegan activists that break into farms and steal animals? That’s wrong too because they are boycotting the meat industry?

        l would say it’s dumb because more animals get harmed that way, because the missing animals will get replaced.

          The next animal was already coming either way. Stolen, lost, dead animals are all counted the same way.

          The activist taking animals ensures that whatever was going to happen, its that minus whatever they rescue. You could argue its such a small difference its not worth it, but veganism is about minimizing any harm possible, which includes to single animals.

              I said YOU could argue (or anyone) as in there is an argument to be made there, its not one I agree with personally but people are free to have their own perspectives.

              Is there a problem with that?
