It's hard to synthesize the animal suffering that people crave
That is objectively a silly thing to say.
I'm not a vegan but I do believe that eating meat from an animal that suffered it's whole life surely passes on to the person who consumed it.
I don't eat meat that often but when I do I always buy free range.
I tell people, even if you can't go vegetarian or vegan (I'm one of those) you can reduce your consumption of animal products. Be more mindful of wasting animal products and always buy free range when possible.
If everyone scales back a bit that would make a huge difference.
