Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.

So you would rather they slaughter an excessive amount of animals that will then be entirely discarded, then to actually go to people to eat?

No, I would prefer to see markets selling those at a loss so they don't make a profit and food isn't wasted. ~And hopefully that loss motivates them to plan for less consumption next year and/or reducing the amount they're willing to pay producers, decreasing the profitability of the meat production industry.~

But as I said before, there's no evidence yet that the food waste is increasing due to price increases. This is just speculation from people who wouldn't buy the thing because they fail to imagine that there are people who would.

Yes. I would rather the animals' deaths be entirely pointless and bring zero revenue to the animal killers.

"Killing animals is wrong! Unless you're pointlessly killing them so someone doesn't profit from it!"

Dude are you alright, cause wow, what a fucked up and incredibly disgusting view.

No, killing is still wrong when it's pointless. You need to pay attention and take this discussion seriously. Killing that doesn't benefit murderers is better than killing that benefits murderers, because murder shouldn't be profitable.
