    Paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.

    “but what if they have a medical condition that doesn’t exist that I just made up”

    Pretty unlikely.

      And paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.

      most people don’t do that, either

        how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.

          the person doing the killing is usually paid by someone but most people are neither killing nor paying the killers. they are both paid long before someone walks into a grocery store.

            they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?

              i’m saying i know how linear time works, so i know that buying meat on a shelf can’t have caused the animal it came from to be killed.

                Its not buying it that causes the death, its that you’ve shown you want the meat, so the company is killing the animal to produce the meat for you to buy.

                You want meat, they produce meat. You dont want meat, they stop producing meat.
