Buying meat is paying for animals to be killed. Just like buying flour is paying for wheat to be grown.
no, it's not. there are people who kill animals, and there are people who pay them, and most people are neither.
So you pay the guy who pays the guy who kills the animals and that makes it fine? That's the rule? There needs to be 2 degrees of separation? The animal is being killed because you created the demand. The guy wouldn't have paid the guy if you weren't going to pay him.
Edit: oh you're a troll. And a reasonably funny troll to tbh. Edit Edit: I'm not correcting "to tbh" because it's really funny
calling me names doesn't change the truth of what i said
I don't mean it as an ad hominem. I just thought that argument was so silly you must be joking. Your argument makes hiring hitmen permissible so long as there's at least one middle man. Unless I've misinterpreted you.
