CMV: It's wrong for me to eat meat.

If humans gradually stopped eating meat, we would breed less livestock.  So, if you stop eating meat, you aren't saving a currently existing animal from slaughter.  You are just reducing the chance that a future animal is born at all.  The animal is bred for meat, so it either dies to feed you or it never exists.  There won't be endless fields of cows for no reason.  

It's a question of personal philosophy, but many would say that some life is better than no life at all.  The real issue you should be worried about is *how* the animal gets to live while it lives, i.e., free range or in a cage...pumped full of drugs or not...
