    If no-one buys it they stop, it’s that simple.

    I’m confident that pigs were slaughtered before the invention of money.

      They would stop doing it commercially. You are free to kill a pig and eat it, so are other people. Or trade it, but that’s again economics.

      Mass production of meat is a luxury that would never have this scale if people had to find, raise and slaughter pigs themselves.

      You supporting mass production of meat is paying to raise, kill and consume pigs. Which is still fine in our society, just see it as it is.

        I believe if I didn’t buy meat, it would continue to be made, and in ever-increasing quantities. my purchases have no impact whatsoever on whether any animal is bred, raised, or slaughtered.
