"Well, plants suffer too" is one of the biggest arguments for going vegan. We kill a ton more plants to feed animals to produce the calories/protein/nutrition than we do eating the plants straight.
Like you can google this - many studies about how if the world went vegan it'd free up literally 1/3 to 2/5s of the farmland that was previously dedicated to plants grown for animal feed, as well as eliminating animal farms. It's just the nature of the food chain, the higher up you go, the more resources you require.
