Buying meat is paying for animals to be killed

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

The guy wouldn’t have paid the guy if you weren’t going to pay him.

i have no agreement to purchase meat in the future. most people don't.

But you will. And they know that. And they base their decisions on that.

[–] VictoriaAScharleau@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

they can't know that. knowledge is a justified true belief. since the future has not happened, it has no truth value, and, as such, future knowledge is impossible. they do not know whether i will purchase meat in the future. qed

The cost of killing is tied to that package of minced meat whether you accept it or not.

[–] VictoriaAScharleau@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (79 children)

buying meat today can't have caused an animal in the past to be killed, since an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past.
