The primary motivation to our livestock farming is certainly the utility, not some sort of ethical imperative. My argument isn't that it's virtuous to farm livestock, my argument is just that it isn't unethical.

I think if you compare the utility that livestock farming provides, with all the externalties and all the suffering it produces is indeed unethical.
