tbf you are also having humans abused and hurt for you. Prisons to remove inconvenient people from society, wars over resources and power, and slavery overseas to produce goods at low cost. Even if you go vegan, you’re still complicit in unspeakable crimes against humanity as a member of society.
That’s fair. But if that’s your goal, you’d be better off working to end the government subsidies on meat and dairy that exist solely so people will eat more meat, rather than wasting time trying to eliminate every bit from your own diet. If we managed to remove those subsidies, the price of meat/dairy would quadruple and millions of animals would be saved from consumption. Not to mention people would probably be healthier too.

yeah, but why not do the best you reasonably can to reduce overall harm? That’s literally the definition of veganism

but you can do both?
And by reducing demand you’re already helping.
And this is just me personally, but i couldn’t even imagine eating someone who had a mother.
