Was the butcher going to kill all of those animals if there was nobody to buy them?
A worm does not directly order you to eat food and pay you for the benefit of your refuse.
This line of thinking would make terrible lawyers…
Your honour, my client only ordered the hit, and is therefore not guilty of the crime of first degree murder; it was the hitman - by his own confession. I declare mistrial by further down the linedness and award myself a million bucks.
Those one are indeed selected by an individual, but killed by another person. So how does it work? Does the lobster show up whenever anyone in the chain dies, from the fisherman to the diner?
Being dead as an animal in heaven requires a lot of “showing face” at events. The animals don’t mind though. Before this became the norm only dogs went to heaven.
True, but it’s both biologically and sociologically normal to do so all over the world. If someone chooses to reject being part of that system, that’s fine, but morally condemning others for participating in it at all points is disingenuous.
Eating animal products is causing a great deal of suffering and environmental destruction. They deserve every condemnation. They have blood on their hands. Carnist consumers are responsible for the animals being slaughtered period.
Brb, gonna buy some organs from the black market. Sure, I know that it’ll fund further illegal organ harvesting, but I’m not responsible for what my money enables them to do, so no problem.

Proximate cause arguments have entered the chat.
Joe didn’t order any of those animals killed, either. He bought parts of them that were packaged and made available for anyone to buy.
The lobster tank may make things awkward.

He paid the killer though.
He didn’t. He paid a place that’s paid other places several steps removed from the killer.
The killer wouldn’t be financially rewarded if they hadn’t provided the demand in the first place by buying animal products in the market.
