they may do that, but they make their own decisions. my actions don't cause their actions.

    My actions do influence their decision to a tiny degree. Tiny, but more than zero. That's why collective action is necessary. You can take part or not. I personally prefer if my limited influence is a positive one.

    they have free will, and moral agency. you don't make their decision for them.

    So have I, that's why I accept that my actions have consequences. They do have free will but instead of acting morally (in my view) they choose to act with a profit-driven agenda (which they possibly believe is the right thing as they enable a free market for the populace). And as that is a calculable action, to me it makes sense to make the selling of meat less profitable for them by not giving them money for meat. I understand feeling powerless in this context but do you see any more effective way to reduce meat production or do you not even want to change anything about that?
