Sorry, but this is some really shitty logic. 

You can’t just conflate the killing of animals with the consumption of their bi-products. It’s not always a matter of choice. Regardless of your ethical stance on the killing of animals, by the time that meats on the shelf the damage has already been done; whether or not you eat the one beneficial thing to come from that damage is ethically neutral.

And you can give me some bullshit about how consumer choices affect corporate actions, but the reality is, that a lot of consumers don’t have that choice. Whether through lack of money, time, or availability, avoiding animal products (or for that matter, any product whose production raises ethical concerns) is not always a possibility. 

Only corporations have that power to act in the right way. They can’t just absolve themselves from all responsibility by passing on the blame to consumers and saying “don’t blame me, it’s consumer demand!” 

So if you object to the killing of animals, and you feel strongly about such a cause, great, but you’ve got to know your enemy.

Better still, why not go and create some actual choice: vegetarian food that’s cheap, easy, doesn’t require specialist ingredients, caters to different dietary requirements?
