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 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.

And with wat money? Your money and everyone else’s that buys meat. Not that it matters though, I’ll keep eating my meat.
