So if I gave money to an assassin and told him to kill you, I wouldn’t be responsible for his actions?

this analogy doesn’t hold up: the meat is on a shelf and everyone has been paid before I decide whether to buy it.

Okay, let’s say there’s a serial arsonist who’s been burning down houses in your neighbourhood. Now he’s on GoFundMe asking for money to buy more gasoline. I like burned down houses, so I give him money with the knowledge he will use it to burn down your house.

Do I share any responsibility for what happened to your house?

look at this chart. can you see when you went vegan?

you’re not responsible for his actions, you’re responsible for yours.
