If this had been posted in the vegan thread it would merely have entered an echo chamber. I certainly wouldn't have read it as my ethics are clearly different and I have no business on that thread, whose ethics I disagree with but don't criticise. Presuming you read my last post before you typed, I must be cunt in chief. I don't fling abuse at anyone and hope the view from your moral higher ground is glorious.

@wynne - so, basically, you asked a perfectly sensible, reasonable ethical question - as someone who makes life decisions based on the treatment/abuse of animals, should I avoid patronising a company a large proportion of whose profits come from weirdos who spend their weekend torturing animals for fun? It's a sensible question which deserves reasoned discussion.
The mistake you made was asking the main forum of LFGSS, who basically spend most of their time shopping and see themselves as being attacked if they are asked anything that involves any sort of thinking about principles or ethics. It just takes one cunt to be a cunt and the dogpile starts - that keeps them in their comfortable, unchallenged place. It's just the 'bacon sandwich, lol' brigade thinking they're being a bit more clever.
If you'd posted the question in the Vegan Thread, you'd have probably got some reasoned discussion on the ethics of the companies you buy from. But you put it in the main forum, and cunts gonna cunt...
