They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs

You can go vegan and stop giving these people money
this won't stop the fact it'll keep happening and keep making people sad
But feeling guilty as well as sad would be even worse
vystopia isnt any fun either
You sound like queer people in the 80s and 90s.
Now, acceptance is the default position for most folk.
as a queer person in the now I do not think this is comparable, at all.
Similar to recycling, the impact is small. There must be large systemic change. My adoption of a vegan diet, or my diligent recycling of aluminum and plastic, is a drop in the bucket.
Yeah, you should go vegan, and also post depressing memes on 196 that make all the carnists feel guilty. That'll have a bigger impact.
This is emphatically untrue. If you eat a few hundred fewer animals over the course of your life, that's a few hundred animals saved (even if supply and demand aren't perfectly elastic, the expected utility is 1-to-1). The fact that billions will still die is irrelevant.
Would you refuse to save a child from poverty on the grounds that billions will continue living in poverty?
