I don’t think vegans are out there buying pets from breeders. Or at least they shouldn’t be.
We adopted two greyhounds from who were discarded from the racing industry. It’s complex, because it sort of allows the industry to launder the hideous moral cost to be people that are not vegan but think dogs are special and cute. However even with the rehoming there are still mass graves full of greyhounds that were too old or slow that didn’t get adopted, so it’s not like forcing them to execute them would make the enormously profitable sport collapse.
It would be better if there were proper shelters and reserves for everyone and we stopped forced breeding programs but there aren’t and the individuals seem to want to choose life over death.
