    ok, so you and the author of this article clearly have a problem understanding the word “forced”-- if they can choose to quit, they’re not being “forced”. yes, the job is terrible, and conditions should be improved, but it’s clear that you care more about people processing/eating meat that these people’s working conditions. and that’s why this isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is.

          there are literal entire countries (including Canada off the top of my head) who have told other countries and their resettlement orgs ‘we see you have a humanitarian crisis, but we’re only accepting refugees if they work in our slaughterhouses’ I recognize you’re completely entrenched in this baffling perspective and it’s kinda hard to look at, honestly. you’ve got that “when sea levels rise, everyone living on the coasts should just sell their houses and move” kind of energy.

            Since you have to mischaracterize my statements to such a degree just to make your point, you really don’t have that much of an argument, at least not with me. The amount of mental gymnastics you just performed in order to pull some kind of “gotcha“ on me is something you should’ve saved the Olympics a few weeks ago.

            I suggest you direct your anger where it belongs, rather than random Internet strangers.

              someone pointing out the obvious isn’t a ‘gotcha’ and it says a lot that you think it is

                you might as well have just said, “i know you are but what am i,” for all of the disingenuousness of your argument

      Geeze. You literally just refuse to acknowledge sources when they’re handed to you. That is just sad.

      And if you think that anyone chose to be in some of the worst working conditions known to man just because they can choose between quitting and starving to death, then I’d say that’s downright ghoulish.

        It’s not your sources I refuse to acknowledge, it’s your specious, fallacious argument that “the meat industry can be exploitative, therefore veganism.”
