Is it bad that I am a vegan, and I work at a place that sells animal products?

Question

Yes or no?

Answer 1

h**l YA!

just think

every product you sell to a customer is a poor lil DEAD animal! QUIT AND GO TO AN ORGANINC STORE TO WORK AT.

Answer 2

No, you need to make a living right?

Answer 3

only you can answer that.

I found it hard once to be a anti-war protestor working for a defense contractor.  the fact that your asking the question means that you may want to look around at what other jobs are available.  

Answer 4

No, depending on the type of work you are trained in, it may be difficult to work in an establishment that doesn't sell animal products.  You have to work to earn money, so I would not let it bother you.

Answer 5

I know of vegans that work at Whole Foods market and they do have a butcher there. There is nothing wrong.

Answer 6

You have to make a living, and jobs at strictly vegan establishments are hard to come by.  Live your values as best you can and try to avoid having to handle the animal products.

Answer 7

I don't think it is necessarily wrong, but maybe a conflict of interest.  Kind of like if a pro life person worked for Planned Parenthood.

Answer 8

If it gets you money to survive no.

Answer 9

well, you have to make a living, right?  i am adamantly opposed to drinking and i worked at a restaurant for 19 years that served alcoholic beverages.  i don't have to approve of it to serve it.  just know that you are making decisions based on your own personal beliefs and preferences but it isn't your job to choose for everyone.

Answer 10

...yes. you are supporting animal use.
