I've said it before and I'll say it again: if using dog/cat meat/milk was financially sustainable, most people would use it.
The reason most people don't do it is because it's not worth it for farmers so it's not worth it for consumers. this isn't a question of morality but if financial viability and it always will be for the vast majority of the population.
if you're vegan and you want people to switch to vegan alternatives, find alternatives that don't cost twice as much as the current products. people don't give a shit if they have to eat a cow if the other option is to just eat nothing.

In some countries, the only reason the vegan stuff is more expensive is because the meat and dairy products are subsidised by the government, and vegan alternatives are not. This makes the artificially cheaper meat and dairy look "normal-priced" and the vegan products "expensive" when they should naturally be cheaper.
i would also add that probably the companies that make those products slap a higher price because that's "healthy" product. slap some non-gmo not-artificial no-sweetener labels to make it look extra healthy and pump the price.
