I tried going Vegan. Lasted 3 months. Wasn't terribly hard. Drove past a seafood restaurant one night, caught a wiff of some shrimp, U-turned it and said "screw vegan".
I would never let how major corporations deal with animals influence my stance on eating them or not. I may avoid the corporations and business in question, but I would not give up eating meat or animal byproducts because of that.

You pay them for doing it

Hmm? Expand? If the ideas of animal cruelty actually became an issue for me to the point where I contemplated going vegan...why wouldn't I just go the "free range" route? There are a multitude of ways to get meat and animal byproducts which do not include endorsing an animal cruelty based corporation.

If you think a multi - billion dollar industry can exist without making any compromises to animal welfare, you're kidding yourself. "Free range" and "organic" are nothing but marketing tricks to manipulate consumers. The standards are only marginally above factory farms, but they can show a big green meadow on the carton and people don't give it a second thought. They're the energy saving light bulbs of the animal industry; people sleep a little better at night, but in truth they aren't really doing anything.

But it is just so delicious, and most of your points are just taking what some businesses do and applying it to everyone.
