Sony’s controversial PlayStation Network requirement for its PC games is once again in the spotlight after the company delisted the original Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam and the Epic Games Store and added the PSN requirement to the upcoming single-player remaster.
I feel the argument is a little different when it comes to physical goods.
Stealing a Nestlé product takes away revenue just like if it were left on the shelf, never purchased, and discarded by the shop. The main benefit there is the edible portion of the product doesn’t end up in a landfill.
The next animal was already coming either way. Stolen, lost, dead animals are all counted the same way.
The activist taking animals ensures that whatever was going to happen, its that minus whatever they rescue. You could argue its such a small difference its not worth it, but veganism is about minimizing any harm possible, which includes to single animals.

It’s the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don’t even want it for free.
No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.
What would you say to vegan activists that break into farms and steal animals? That’s wrong too because they are boycotting the meat industry?
l would say it’s dumb because more animals get harmed that way, because the missing animals will get replaced.

How do counter argue yourself…
