    Some years, your crops barely materialize.

    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.

          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.

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