I attempt to distill the concepts into their essence, leaving out the magnificent hoops that are often constructed to attempt to justify that which cannot be justified.

Your action would have close to no chance whatsoever of even creating further suffering to any animal. So no it is not impossible to eat meat without harming because the harm is already done, in this scenario you'd take already existing stagnant energy upon yourself.
That particular animal is already dead, but one's actions do indeed affect the pool of supply and demand, and collectively, our choices all contribute to the end result.
That's not even getting into the holographic and energetic aspects of transcending linear time!

If you inhabit a human body, and eat, then you are part of the group, like it or not.

That is from the perspective of Self.
