Vegan activists tend to throw out bate to draw in people to educate...
Sometimes they get a few nibbles...
These nibbles are reeled in and are often times excuses on why not to go vegan...
I'm here to reply to the excuses...
Welcome to VEGBATE
When you got to the store you see some meat and you know it comes from an animal that had to be killed which is horrible, you think to yourself but it's already been killed and so buying it won't cause any harm right? Wrong... When ever you buy any product you are increasing the demand and thus the company/supplier must supply more if they wish to make more profit. (Supply & Demand). The consumers paying for the product is ultimately the driver of more products being created.

So to put this in terms of animal agriculture... when purchasing an already dead animal at the store (say this is your first time purchasing an animal product) the one holding the knife/ boltgun etc. and the supplier, etc. the ones getting these products on the shelves are at fault for the first few deaths... but once the ball gets rolling and you among others are buying the products the dead animals ... you are now the one demanding for more animals to be killed to take the one you have just bought's place (you are essentially hiring a hit man... but without your money/support the hitman wouldn't be killing). Just like if a company had very few sales and people disliked their product they wouldn't make anymore since they wouldn't be making enough profits.
