paying them as indirectly as you are supporting the animal abuse indirectly.

no, you’re not. if someone is abusing livestock, they are paid by someone who isn’t me and long before I walk into the grocery store.

That isn’t how supply/demand works. If you are creating a demand, which you are when buying the product, you are incentivizing someone to create a supply.

If enough people didn’t buy the product then there wouldn’t be a demand and the person that pays the “milker” wouldn’t pay them anymore.

I believe that’s in the laws of macroeconomics (?)

  supply and demand is a price seeking theory. you are misapplying the term to use it this way
