A vegetarian society would be almost worse for the environment unfortunately. Without grinding up male chickens (unneeded for egg production), and without killing male cows at 1 year for meat (unneeded for milk production), we’d be subject to feeding these animals for their whole life rather than what their carcass can provide at young ages.
Plus with specific honey bee populations taking pollen away from local indigenous bees, we could see species wiped out in pursuit of it.
It’s best for the environment to just stop eating what comes out of animals, and starting eating what we feed to them instead.
