What if we stop eating chicken and then they go extinct?

Would those who caused this by switching to lab grown meat feel bad about it?

And if they go extinct then is there any net benefit in we stopping to eat them?

People keep chickens as pets.

Also eggs.

Sure, but the world population of chickens probably still crashes...
