i feel no responsibility for what the animal agriculture industry does, and if i did, to stop it, i wouldn't go vegan. i'd buy bolt cutters.

Isnt that just as futile as going vegan? Or do you mean like taking the animals and raising them yourself? Or letting them free in the wild I guess?

Either way any actions you take with a bolt cutter, that line on the graph you showed me will keep going up.

Maybe you mean you'd personally save the animals you felt responsible for?

no. direct action gets the goods. if you want to save animals, you need to go where the animals are and save them.

impossible. if the animals are not in the pen to be slaughtered, they cannot be counted toward meat production.
