Do you think if everyone in the world stopped buying meat, that the slaughterhouses would keep killing cows? I’m going to assume you don’t think that, and I’m going to assume you believe the slaughterhouses kill cows because people buy them.
So let me know if you DON’T think that your and others’ purchasing of meat causes animal agriculture. Because I think you agree that your actions and others’ actions cause it.

animal agriculture existed before anyone ever bought meat. purchasing meat didn’t cause animal agriculture.

Trying to get meat caused animal agriculture. Stop trying to get meat.

it’s too late. animal agriculture exists, and will continue whether I eat meat or not.

no. slaughterhouses kill cows because they are paid by the cattle owners to do so.

no, do you have a plan to make that happen?

So you’re saying your purchasing of cows contributes towards animal agriculture

I doubt it. I bet if I died tomorrow, more meat would be sold next year than this year, and evenore the year after.
