i dont see much difference in killing a chicken raised to eat than killing a tomato raised to eat ? they both would have longer lives if not eaten, both are nice, both are better eaten before they die. Both are raised for the sole purpose of eating.
Would you eat a cow that died of natural causes , like drowning ?
I wonder if a leather company that only made leather from animals that died of natural causes would work ?

Well to be honest I did not get your first question. Care to ask in another way?
What do you see as direct and indirect killing?
I would not eat a cow that died of natural causes. Its not because of the principle though. When I accidentally eat meat nowadays (hidden in a salad for example) I vomit and/or have diarhee. My body can not take it anymore. I think you would also need to eat it within a a limited amount of time for the meat to still be eatable. You are a countryboy so you probably know that better then me.
I would have no problems wearing leather shoes from animals that died a natural way. I wear leather shoes now as well but I would feel better knowing the animal died a natural way. The life has not ended pre-mature.
Not sure if you have a dog but would you eat your dog? Just like tomatoes and chicken they are both nice. They would have longer lives if not eaten. It is eaten better before it dies and in some cultures dogs are raised for the sole purpose of eating....Just trying to make you see here that "raised for the sole purpose of eating" is a human choice and much like your idea here might vary from the chinese idea my idea here might vary from yours
