Based on our growth as a species/taking over ecosystems, if certain animal populations in the wild aren’t culled (have a certain number of their population killed), it will be bad for the local ecosystem.
This isn’t relevant to farmed animals. Farmed animals can’t overpopulate because we are the ones controlling their population.
Yes (with some exceptions like eggs, milk, and other animal products like wool).
It makes sense environmentally. I would change my mind on this if there was some need to eat meat that couldn’t be replaced by a vegetarian diet. I don’t see the point in eating them, though.
It’s not going to change until it becomes more lucrative/economical to do so, though, of course.

I agree. If we could replace that system with something healthier for the planet, and our species, we would stand to benefit.
So you agree we should replace animal agriculture with plant based agriculture?
Yes (with some exceptions like eggs, milk, and other animal products like wool).

Eggs and milk are not healthy for humans to consume and require atrocity to produce. What is the point in your confusion?
I thought eggs were pretty healthy as a protein source. I’m not sure about milk but I assumed it was helpful for the same reasons.
With eggs, if unfertilized eggs aren’t eaten, they’ll go to waste anyway. Why not eat them while we try to downsize animal-based factory farming?
