      The average Joe has some say in it. When people buy factory farmed milk, they directly financially support the treatment of animals at these places. Imo people should learn in schools (or look for themselves) at footage from factory farms and slaughterhouses from their country to be informed about living conditions so they can make an informed choice if that’s worth it.

        and if they don’t buy the dairy farmers get their subsidy anyway. like yeah i can make myself poorer buying unsubsidized milk, but kinda sucks you’re putting the problem on me.

        that’s not even true.

          Where does the farm’s income come from?

          Do you imagine they’d get the same amount of income if all people stopped consuming their product tomorrow?

              Tomayto tomahto. The grocery store bought the milk from factory farms with the money they get from their customers. At the end of the day the money from milk consumers still funds the animal abuse.

                looks to me like you understand that this is a lie:

                When people buy factory farmed milk, they directly financially support the treatment of animals at these places.

                  You’re really the personification of the word pedantic. I changed my poorly formulated sentence.

                At the end of the day the money from milk consumers

                goes into a pile with all the money spent on bean juice and keeps all those people employed doing the same things they’ve been doing.
