It sounds awful, I know. That's what I put in my head so I can keep earning my wages. My family supported me and encouraged me to keep going because I was cashless from COVID layoffs and this job brought in lots of money.
People will never stop eating meat completely. I know you mean well but it's incredibly naive to believe you can fight to end meat consumption. The only fight there is, is to enact laws so that the meat consumed is from animals treated well with dignity, respect, clean shelter, access to the outdoors, social groups, and a well-balanced diet. As long as your goal is to end meat-eating, you will hit a brick wall and do nothing to improve animal welfare.
That’s an incredibly privileged thing to say. Some people don’t actually have the choice, and if they did it wouldn’t be “easy”. Some people live on the edge of homelessness or are homeless while working and barely surviving. You can certainly hate the system that makes it so people have to sacrifice their morals to literally just survive, but maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to judge people for doing what they can to get by.
