      So if I gave money to an assassin and told him to kill you, I wouldn’t be responsible for his actions?

        this analogy doesn’t hold up: the meat is on a shelf and everyone has been paid before I decide whether to buy it.

          Okay, let’s say there’s a serial arsonist who’s been burning down houses in your neighbourhood. Now he’s on GoFundMe asking for money to buy more gasoline. I like burned down houses, so I give him money with the knowledge he will use it to burn down your house.

          Do I share any responsibility for what happened to your house?

            I still don’t see how this is analogous: the meat industry doesn’t depend on my purchases any more than it depends on yours.

            look at this chart. can you see when you went vegan?

              Yes, it does depend on your purchases more than mine. You’re making the mistake of conflating a very small number with zero.
