You do have a choice. You can not pay taxes, and go to prison, or pay fines. At least you won't be contributing to animal abuse. You don't get to set artificial boundaries for yourself. Either you're complicit, or you're not. So get off your high horse. You clearly are.
I have no say over where my taxes go I can only vote for people who are trying to make a better world. So explain to me why you choose to maximise the suffering of animals by choosing to pay for cruelty rather than minimising to the least harm and fighting to change things?
You can choose to pay fines, or go to prison. You just don't want to be inconvenienced. You don't care enough. You're immoral. You support animal cruelty, and have no spine. Fuck off.
Much of the money I earn actually goes towards ending animal suffering. You choose to maximise suffering. Why can't you try to go 100% plant say for a month and see how you go? It's a lot easier than you think.
