I think you misunderstood that sentence.
Of course things wouldn't change over night. But if more people chose not to consume factory farm animal products - the demand would go down over time and we would not breed as many anymore.
It would be a slow phasing out and a transition to more sustainable food sources.
> I’d rather have a harsh life than no life
Please watch Earthlings[0] - the documentary about the factory farm industry and how animals live. Tell me you would want to live under those conditions. And no - those are not isolated, it's the reality for factory farm animals.
Those cows, chickens and pigs in factory farms are not wild species anymore. We bred them to the point where we maximized their meat or egg production at the expense of their health, e.g. chickens grow so large they can't stand on their own legs anymore.
And we have many sanctuaries now - where farm animals are being rescued and they can live to their natural end, so they would continue to exist.
So if you had the choice - what would you choose for yourself:
1) Not be born
2) Be born into a system where you will suffer and lead a horrible life and at the end you will be slaughtered just because someone wants a burger.
