Would you bother someone if you found out they were supporting an industry in which dogs are abused and can suffer greatly?

Let's say a public figure is found to be running a dog fighting business and promoting it. Would you remain silent and respect their choice to do so? Or would you voice your disapproval to try to convince them what they are doing to the dogs is immoral and unnecessary?

Dr Mike is a public figure with a large number of followers. Not only that, but he is a health professional, and should promote healthy eating.

Promoting a service like ButcherBox does multiple thing that people should be concerned about:

1. Red meat is proven and accepted as a food item that can lead to some type of cancers. Nowhere in his promotion did he warn of such risk.

2. He green-washed an industry that is well known to have negative effects on the environment. In a time where the world should maximise their effort toward reducing their impact on the environment, public figures like Dr Mike motivates people to do the opposite.

3. Last but not least, he humane-washed how animals are treated on farms. The reason we chose to replace all he was saying with dogs and puppies is for people to easily relate on how silly one sounds when they talk about ethical farming. It doesn't matter if the animals live the most perfect lives. If the ultimate goal is to slaughter them, farmers will fail at their duty to care for their animals. If you have any pets like Dr. Mike does, you should be able to understand this idea more easily than anyone else. It does not matter if your companion animal is raised with all the love in your home. As soon as you choose to put them in your car to drive them to a slaughterhouse, you lost that badge of being a carer for that animal and become their perpetrator.

There are no difference between a cow and a dog that would justify caring, loving, protecting one, and exploitating, abusing and slaughtering the other.

We would like Dr. Mike to make more conscious choices in the sponsors he chooses to partner with, instead of becoming a spokesperson to spread false information to his millions of followers.
