I do think the companies themselves do respond to boycotting their products. I do think boycotting certain products, both foreign and domestic, that are made on the backs of abuse animals will get companies' attention. |
Yes, the success of an embargo depends on the ultimate goal. When I said they were unsuccessful I meant if the goal is to destroy a country's economy...that is when it is least likely to work especially if it is only unilaterally implemented. I also agree on boycotting only certain products. I'm not sure about it's success overseas (I haven't really followed that) but domestically I think it really does work.
