how could you be responsible for that? they did it without your knowledge, and without knowing whether anyone would set up or donate to the GoFundMe.

But animal farmers know that people like you will buy meat at the supermarket, so where you say I’m not responsible, you are.

no, they dont. I could get hit by a bus in my way to the grocery store today. it is impossible to know the future.

But they’re gambling their livelihoods on the fact that enough people like you will. Their action is contingent upon their beliefs about the future. Your future.
