The Manu-Smriti (Laws of Manu) states:
"He who permits the slaughter of an animal, he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, must all be considered as the slayers of the animal." (5:51)
Based on the above verse, would anyone here who is a vegetarian agree to buy meat for someone who eats it? For example, if your boss asked you to go and get him a McChicken burger or a ham sandwich, would you do it?
I would not do it under any circumstances, and I would tell him that it is against my religion. However my wife, who isn't very religious (a fact for which I am very resentful) doesn't care about this and has bought meat for her father in the past (even though I told her it would be as bad for her as if she ate it).
