      Yeah, I used a metaphor to help explain how you can be found responsible for something even if you didn’t do the thing yourself.

          I guess I don’t agree with you. If I buy a product that specifically requires the death of an animal I would feel like I am responsible for the death of that animal and monetarily incentivising the death of other animals.

          If I pay a hitman to kill someone I am not innocent of murder.

          You don’t get to support an industry that kills animals and then say you’re not responsible for the death of animals.

            the animal is dead long before I walk into a store or restaurant, and the people who did the killing have already been paid. I have no responsibility for that.
