Answers:
firstly, why would you want to "get rid of them"?

why not just leave them alone then? once people stop purposely producing them for food, it's not likely that they can sustain their numbers as it stands right now anyway..

there are only so many livestock animals because there's a demand for the meat. if there wasn't, it wouldn't be like you'd see cows taking over parts of the countryside....

your an idiot!

What? How do expect to get an answer if you don't even use complete sentences? Do you mean animal over population?

And despite what the vegan down there claims, you not eating meat will not stop any animal from being slaughtered, nor will it in any way what so ever cut into meat companies profit margins. The amount of meat produced to be sold is based on supply and demand, and a single person not eating meat will in no way effect this, but not knowing something that simple is pretty typical of a vegan.

you being a vegan will not have a big impact, because there will still be more meat - eaters. in my opinion the animals would be eating eachother just as fast as we eat them so why bother? if everyone ate plants then animals would multiply until the entire earth was smothered and no oxygen was left.

in any case, go vegan if you want, the impact will be tiny.

Animals are bred and born JUST for meat. If everyone became a vegan, people would stop bringing animals into the world for their meat.

It will NEVER be the case that everyone suddenly becomes vegan, like flipping a switch, and all the young meat animals suddenly have nobody to eat them. If everyone were to become vegan, it would happen gradually, and the meat industry would have time to compensate by saying, "Okay, this year we're only going to breed half the animals we did last year. Next year we're going to breed even less, since we expect less people to want to eat the animals."

By the time everyone's a vegan, all the animals born for their meat will have already been eaten, and no new animals will have yet been born.

If you become a vegan, then yes, this year there will be a few animals that died for nothing because you didn't eat them, and their meat will be thrown in the trash. But this also means that the meat industry will lose some money because nobody bought that meat. If you stop eating meat, it's like a vote-- almost no impact by itself, but capable of changing the world if made by a large number of people. If the number of vegans increase, it will certainly have a positive effect on the world.

Now, it depends on your reasons for becoming vegan, but I personally like to support free-range farmers. The worst part about the meat & eggs industry is the extremely inhumane living and dying conditions they subject the animals to. Free range farmers raise their animals humanely, meaning that even if they do wind up getting killed, they lived a decent life. THAT is worth supporting-- it is more expensive, but the practice is VERY likely to help stop cruel practices in the big-meat industries. In the very least, we should allow our meat animals comfort in living and dying, and that's much more feasible than making the human race just stop eating meat all together. The main problem with cruelty-free meat is that it has a bigger impact on our environment, because a free-range chicken needs much more land to live on than a chicken in a tiny cage.

I'm hoping that one day, we'll be able to grow animal meat in a laboratory, so there is no suffering at all but humans can still eat all the meat they want.

If the world became vegan, we wouldn't have to breed animals in masses. We overly breed millions.

If you want to become a vegan "real bad," than you should become one. For YOU, not the rest of the world.

No, because we are not the only ones eat meat, you see? So, no need to worry. God is perfect that way~!

Before there were humans and disgusting factory farming, animals still never got too overpopulated, natural selection always puts them back to order.

First of all not all veagan are such pacifists as you think. Many people just health basic health concerns. If everybody d become a veagen, the animals would overmultiply and take over the planet just as in Primeaval Age, because we won't pose the threat to them...only to each other.

Vegetarianism isn't good for the animals. If enough people went veggie to actually affect the industry at all, and the demand for meat decreased, it would mean animals which were surplus to requirement. You're kidding yourself if you think that would mean they'd live happily ever after, as they couldn't be sold no one would want to keep them, and they'd still be slaughtered.
Think about it, the second farmers couldn't sell their livestock, the second they couldn't make a profit, they wouldn't keep them any more. Keeping animals isn't cheap, and to keep them, without profit, would be hugely expensive to any farmer. How many do you reckon would be prepared to make that kind of loss?
Now, what'd happen then? Maybe a few wild pigs or goats would stay alive, but for the most part it would be impossible to release them into the wild. The vast majority would have to be slaughtered. This would lead to the near destruction of the species. Aurochs, the original cows, are extinct; wild boar and sheep are rare, and so on.

Vegetairianism doesn't save animal's lives, it just disassociates people with their deaths.

From a population point of view, domestication is one of the best things that can happen to an animal. If the golden eagle tasted any good you can bet your life it wouldn't be nearly extinct.
