I don't understand your point. Is this because of the vegan point of view that that's what happens to the livestock?
If you are really asking, I have answers.
But, if your questions are about animal consumption, I'm not in any way saying people shouldn't be vegan.
I was taking issue that equating someone who goes to church once a week (and does nothing else) is NOT the same as a vegan who is vegan 24/7.
Someone was trying to say it was the same thing. Like vegans are only vegan when it's convenient, or one meal a week only. So it would be super easy for a butcher and a vegan to be partners in that case. My argument is that while it could happen, someone is compromising a lot or not really walking the walk.
Religious people are to vegans What Non practicing people are to omnivores that eat vegan sometimes.
If you're only doing it once a week, there's not going to be much friction.
Saying otherwise about people who live their beliefs 24/7 is minimizing the strong beliefs of religious people and vegans.
My point was that religious people aren't just perfomative one day a week. It's going to bother the true believers to see their partners doing things that go against their beliefs.
Including a lot of vegans.
Some exceptions always, because humans are complicated.
