Indeed, slaughtering the existing lifestock and repalc eit with plant famring is seriously considered in soem coutnries. Ireland wnats to kill a vast part of its cattle and cows, for exsample. Its not yet clear wether they get through with that, the idea is so obscene and monstrous. Canada coould become a cnadidate, too. I heard it from Greece. Sweden. It gets seriously debated. Also, in germany. Last but not least: the EU, and the WHO.
The problem with PETA and also many Vegans is they are incredibly intolerant, ideologically fanaticised, and are not shy of becoming militant to enforce their demands.
Lets bring the methane production to nill. Kill all animals in the world. Including humans. Where there is no animal life, there is no farting.

Eat what kind of meat you want, but choose meat from animals who have been living a good life and not a stressful life.

In a perfect, ideal world, yes. Fact is organic beef costs three times as much as normally raised beef. Not mkany can afford these costs, even I must accept compromises. Costs cna be borught down by clamping down on plant farmingn and widening lifestock and cattle farming. Move the herds aorudn a lot, dint have too many animals in a space, and you get what the EU and tzhe UN wants: spovling the probkem of degenrating agricilturally usable soils. Turn famrland into meadows and but cows and buffalo and th elike sonto it. thats how nature has done it since millenia. But the powerful lobbies of Big Farming, Big Food and Big Cereals will not allow that without putting up fights.
Also, our populatioisn are soo huge that fio you want to feed them all on canriovore diets predomjantly, you cnanot cape to produce that meat industrially predominantly, ther eis no way aoprund it. Because WE ARE TOO MANY.
Its always getting down to these four words, isn't it. WE ARE TOO MANY. Our population sizes are not sustainable.
