That you eat so you are part of it... this is to a certain extent is logical, I'm not saying no....upto the extend  that you are encouraging it! But according to Buddhism... I dont see how encouraging full fill the SIN of Paanathi Paatha, unless the other conditions are met!Yes it is killed for me, but it is killed with the assumption that I will buy it, I may or may not decide to buy it too, so the person who killed the animal is killing the animal on the assumption that someone will buy it! The killer at the time of killing.... he does it assuming that I will buy, if lets say I order him directly then he kill the animal it would have been a different case!Ok! lets take this scenario... lets say... all humans on earth are vegetarians.. so one fine day I kill a chicken and decide to eat... and after consuming the meat..I get the thought, “Hey! This could be good business, if this tastes good for me then it should taste good for others too” So ASSUMING that others will buy.. I kill more chicken and sell, So the SIN already has come full circle for me by the time the product reached my customer! Isn't this what might have happened? and still happening? And it is undeniable that it is more easier to stop it from the source than the end point... are we going to stop millions Sri Lankans and billions of world population eating chicken or we just begin from where the killing starts? which are much lesser in numbers than that?At the time of buying this animal, I just have the thought of buying food... if I'm sinned (for a thought) because I buy dead meat even if I think it is food, so it should be the same for those people who refrain from buying dead meat but instead buy *vegetarian-chicken (soya)* because then the same logic applies and its the thought that does matters then.... we both buying because we want something chicken taste!What do you think?<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
