You allow them to murder hundreds of virtual people or creatures, but sex is a bridge too far?
On driving factor is the (over)use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. It's weird the article touches this issue in just one sentence...
"Over 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock, including cattle, which translates to significant human health impacts."
"Unlike with human medicine, however, antibiotics are often fed to cattle as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment."
"Antibiotic resistance in cattle does not only affect the health of the cattle, it impacts people as well because many of the antibiotics given to cattle are also used in human medicine. Eating meat or consuming milk from an animal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may infect a human with that same resistant bacteria"

The problem is not the amount of people but how much each individual consumes. Getting meat out of your diet is a simple and a small sacrifice. Besides the health benefits there is also the fact that you don't contribute to the culling of 70 billion animals per year (of which 40% is probably not eaten and thrown in the trash). Not only that but you don't contribute to the greatest cause of deforestation, antibiotics resistance, decline of biodiversity, water waste, ...
Besides the global population is steadily stagnating (Africa is still booming) as a lot of countries see population decline (less than 2 children per woman).
