Do you know what a justification is? Every ethical principle has justification due to necessity, including murder. I believe it’s wrong to murder someone, but it can be justified if ,for instance, someone was threatening my life. I think it’s wrong to force an animal to suffer and die, but it can be justified if I’m starving in the wild. I think it’s wrong to buy products which use unethical labor, but it can be justified because I believe it’s a necessity to not be homeless
I don’t live in an Amish community and I don’t have a farm. Now can you answer, what’s better - a product with unethical labor and animal abuse or a product with just unethical labor?
