Can you love animals if you eat them?

That's such bs. Of course in a perfect world we could do that but this isnt the reality. Someone always get exploited. Welcome to capitalism and consumerism. Clothes, TVs, phones, laptops you either have to buy very expensive versions of those things to avoid exploitation or live in a shed and dont buy them at all.

Even being vegan leads to someone being exploited or do you think vegetables, fruits, nuts or whatever is being planted by some happy well payed farmer? No! Forests are getting burned down so we have more space for fields and they work under bad conditions and arent getting paid well. Did you know the rising demand of quinoa (I think) lead to higher prices and therefore the locals cant afford it anymore?

Yes I agree with the the fact that animals get exploited and you can avoid buying those things but does it make you less of an animal lover if you do? Yes but are you still an animal lover? Of course. Everyone does as much or little as they can to support their views.

I know I will be getting downvoted but who cares
