A mysterious disease was killing cats, with no treatment available…at least not in the US.
So a group of cat lovers turned to the black market to get lifesaving treatments into the hands of pet parents.
And it was working, until the feds showed up.

If I wanted to destroy a company from within, I’d start by disenfranchising their largest customer base, and then I’d do this.
It’s funny too because this kind of forced emotional labor is heavier on Black/brown workers *and* one of the signals to Black/brown shoppers that we’re unwelcome! (As a Black person who has worked retail and been followed in stores—too frequently—in case I “need any help”)
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
