At the same time, it’s a fickle industry. Some years, your crops barely materialize. Then environmental regulations change and you need to make major investments to keep your farm running. Etc.
Since it’s also where our food comes from, I’m not too angry about them getting a bunch of money.
Okay, economics aren’t actually something you’re interested in, only veganism. Which is fine, it’s the morally correct choice, but I thought we were out here discussing the economic realities of being a farmer and why they may need government subsidies in general.

We waste one third of production either on production site or along the supply chain and we give a lot of money for production that are unnecessary.
Believe me, I am Italian, we get 323 M€ for wine production and 60% of our export is still shitty Prosecco.
That is the kind of bullshit the sector relies on.
Oh sweet summer child when they say “subsidies for farmers” they don’t mean farmers growing food, they mean animal slavers.
Those are especially hard hit by chance happenings though? Sometimes they have to kill all the animals because of a disease.
They actually kill all the animals all the time

You’re right that my belief that killing is immoral means I automatically think killers are unsuitable recipients of government subsidies.
