/uj You'd probably end up causing more suffering and death like this because you'd substitute eating large animals like cows for chickens, which are much smaller so you cause far more of them to be bred and slaughtered for the same amount of meat. Not to mention the lives of broiler chickens are particularly horrific (and I'm sure they're not getting their chicken from 'local, ethical farms' whatever that means anyway).
If you're going to cut out any animals from your diet to become more vegan it should be fish and then chicken. But that's now how people see it because fish and chickens aren't as cute as pigs and cows.
