Could someone counter this morality argument?

If the world stopped eating meat, animals would no longer be bred for this purpose.

Since animals are bred for meat, I'm not bothered by eating them. Their treatment is generally poor, but again their purpose is to be food. They wouldn't have existed otherwise.

This is a genuine good-faith question, so hopefully the replies will be similar.

Is it a matter of opinion, or is there something closer to an objective truth to be found in this?
