That doesn't matter for the millions that are currently living.

Well there is no overnight mass adoption of veganism so you're right, this isn't a problem.

Thank you. I still have no idea why people make the ridiculous argument of "Well what will we do with all the living ones?" It's either what you said, or they think there's going to be an entire multi-billion-dollar industry supporting tens of thousands of cows for each individual of the last remaining non-vegans. It's so disingenuous that they've either never thought it through or actually just don't care.

It's frustrating how arguments supporting the overwhelming status quo don't need to hold up to scrutiny at all. Then the ones speaking out against it have mountains of credible data and airtight logical arguments that can just be dismissed out-of-hand by complete, nonsensical bullshit, and the general public will lap it up.
