Buddhism clearly states how you can get SINNED for killing an Animal like Wal Bada posted in this thread before... you need to fulfill 5 criteria in order for you to be SINNED.Here it is:1. Knowing the animal is live2. Intention of killing the animal3. Planning for a method to kill4. Carrying out the deed of killing5. Animal actually getting killed.You can apply all situations here... lets take yours.. I'm going to the butcher asking for meat so...1. I know the Animal is alive and he is going to kill it for me2. And I intend to get the meat by killing it3. My plan is to use the Butcher to kill the Animal4. Butcher successfully execute his action / plan of killing the animal which also fulfills my plan5. Animal getting killed by that planSo in this situation Butcher and me both are SINNED!!!Now lets take a look at day to day scenario!I'm walking into a Supermarket I buy grocery and go to the MEAT SHELF and just get myself a whole chickenBut then how can I be sinned the very 1st rule has not been broken.. the animal is already dead!So please understand that what you and I talking about is completely 2 different scenarios!</blockquote>
