OK, so this is an argument for liberating us from responsibility, not for reducing animal suffering & death. I'm more concerned abt latter.
I think we need to stay in the situation we have re animals currently dependant on us & whether that is better for them or not.

I think we should think of farm animals as having the same moral worth as pets. If we breed them, we care for them. No premature death.
-
I know and now we're back to the beginning with the other two options & whether they're better for the animals or just for our consciences.
-
The purely moral thing to do would be to stop breeding immediately and take care of all living farm animals as we would pets.
-
And let them go extinct & no further pigs or cows to live at all. That would stop death & suffering but at the cost of life. Anti-natalism.

We're considering rationales & consequences for changing what we do now.

We cld extend it to an argument that all animals wld do better on humane farms & that would be arguable if you go on suffering.
