That’s just useless semantics, neither funny nor clever. The pig you bought may be dead, but the money you pay will be used to raise and kill other pigs.
the pig was slaughtered in the past, before I walked into the store or decided what I’m eating this week. everyone involved was paid before all that, too.
They wouldn’t kill, or even raise the pig if they didn’t count on the money down the chain. We indirectly but surely pay for pigs to be created / killed, for our consumption.
It’s fine if you don’t care about that or accept it as your standards, that’s your choice and fair in our current social context. Just realize the economics behind it.
It’s actually irrelevant whether or not you buy a product made from slave labour, the product is already made! How much product is made is completely independent of how much gets purchased, because that’s how markets work!
almost no one has paid for a pig to be killed
It’s called ‘buying pork’. They don’t kill them for fun and just happen to sell them afterwards.
when you buy pork, the person who killed the pig has already been paid.

it’s not semantics
It absolutely is. If you eat pork, you indirectly pay for pigs to be slaughtered. Full stop.

all those people are paid before I even decide whether I’m going to buy bacon.
I give my money to the same people that you do: a grocer.

Assuming what I think you’re assuming, now I want to hear this story of pig assassination.
