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.
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!

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.

I give my money to the same people that you do: a grocer.
