A monopoly implies they control the entire market for a particular product, which they do not.

Precisely.  There are other general stores, making Walmart not a monopoly, and thus not being illegal.

A large reason that I have largely left the forums and as such, don't make many posts, is do to the character limit. It is a limit to freedom that is unnecessary and annoying.

"Animals are not people. They should really cue vegans in on this fact."

Well, the thing is, vegans don't really care about something's species. If it can feel emotion, then vegans want to protect and care for it. Vegans (in general), are like Fluttershy. They care for all creatures, no matter what kind.

Come to think of it, I bet Fluttershy would really hate most humans for what they think of non-humans.
