Preamble
I checked whether it meets the lounge criterions. I think it does and see no reason why to post this in soap box.
Now the question
Should I eat meat in case I'm not able to kill the [Edit] basic [/Edit] supplier [Edit]of the meat[/Edit]by myself?
Btw: I eat meat.

By that logic, should I now begin eating airplanes?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Excuse me please, but in your answer I see absolutely no logic; at most an Alibi...

That's ok. I have not shot down anything lately.

Why would you want to kill the butcher?

Ups, now I recognize it, I squinted (take care Google translated...)

It's ok if you buy it from "Nice to meat" over here in Holland

 Yes indeed, this is a strange question.
Killing the supplier means you'll soon run out of suppliers and go hungry or wind up in jail, either way, don't do it. Being friendly with a meat purveyor has it's benefits! (my wife manages 10 steakhouses so I should know!) Here's a tip...tip the butcher. They'll eventually remember you. Hmmm, looks like steak tonight!

No. It still does not make any sense.

Well ... I eat meat. But I don't kill the animals myself, because if nothing else it would really annoy 1) the farmer, and 2) the local police. I do kill Dij's prey when it's too badly damaged to release, but I don't eat them, or enjoy it.
There are strict rules in the UK about how you can kill animals for consumption. (Our local abattoir - part of the butchers shop - had to close because the ceiling wasn't high enough)
Would I kill an animal for food if I had to? Yes - but until then I'll leave it to the professionals.

That sounds ok, as Long the professionals do it right, what ever this means.... But also your statement sounds like delegate the delicate issues to the "authorities".
Please understand me correctly, I also eat meat and do not kill the animals myself. But the more I read about it, the more questions I get

Quickly, humanely, with minimum stress to the animal. I don't have the equipment to do that (or access to the animals)
I think of it this way: thousands of years ago we made a contract with chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, ...
We'd protect them from wolves,
foxes, hunger; we'd heal them, help them, breed them, feed them. In return, we'd eat them at the end.
Did you know that the most common bird on the planet is the domestic chicken? In 2008 over 9 billion chickens were slaughtered for food in America alone. How many do you think there would be alive on the whole planet in ten years time if everybody went vegetarian tomorrow?
It's bad for individual chickens, but it's been can good for their species up to now.

Makes it hard to swing the axe with the requisite force I believe.

I think it's safer to eat it at a distance where you can't hear the screams.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

If you didn't kill it, it's carrion.

I think anyone who eats meat should at least a few times in their lives kill and butcher an animal for food.
It is too easy to treat meat as just some product, and not recognise it's true cost.
When I see meat thrown away, I get really angry.

If you are full and can't take a bite - still finish your meat. You can leave the garnish, but try to finish the meat.

You should know where it comes from, yes; but you need not kill yourself to get that understanding. I doubt that there'd be many (modern) kids that would eat meat directly after killing it.
It also has to be explained that it is not just "killing"; it is part of the food chain, and a lot cleaner than a pack of wolves. Animals that we raise are not hunted, have little to none parasites and are generally well-fed, to die a relative painless death compared to nature.
