  The primary motivation to our livestock farming is certainly the utility, not some sort of ethical imperative. My argument isn't that it's virtuous to farm livestock, my argument is just that it isn't unethical.

    You said: > it seems to me that it is less ideal from the perspective of the animal for their entire bloodline to be terminated I think if you compare the utility that livestock farming provides, with all the externalties and all the suffering it produces is indeed unethical.
