I'm mostly for the health and environmental impact, but the ethical side I think has validity too.
Plants have but a resemblance of a nervous system if any, and they don't have a brain.
Does anyone really think that slitting the throat of a cow can be compared to harvesting corn?
I think the ethical argument has a good ground. If it's not necessary at all to have good health to engage in slitting animal throats, shooting male calves at birth for milk, grinding male chicks alive etc. then why keep doing it?
Especially with the impact on climate change of most crops that are mostly meant to feed livestock, the methane produced, the excrements produced, plus it's linked to all sorts of diseases.
So to me, the ethical aspect more than the lives of animals is also about the lives of humans. This abuse of the environment and this diet is causing disease and climate change which is impactful for humans as well.
