The moral issue is simple: By paying money to the meat and dairy industries you support the continuance of current torturous industry practices, not reform.
How much money have you donated towards industry reform versus supporting current practices?
It would be kind of like me giving $100 every week to someone who goes around torturing and stomping on puppies and kittens, but telling everyone that I don't see any moral issue with it because I support his reform. But I keep on paying puppy-squasher each week to do his job. I wouldn't really be supporting reform in that scenario, right?
Its funny... most people would never tithe ten percent of their salaries to any good cause, no matter what the benefits, but they consistantly send a substantial percent of their earnings to the meat and dairy industries. Then they deny any responsibility or accountability for what they're funding. I don't understand that. If you're paying for it, how are you not supporting it?
