Hi Holly, I believe that’s possible. Note that I am not suggesting that we might over advocate for wild animals welfare, in fact, we are likely under advocating, and likely will continue so. My point here is that after FFFF is replaced, we might be complacent and go off guard about the general idea of raising animals for human use. Of course, if they will keep on fighting for other types of msitreatment of animals, my post will be much weaker or even useless!
I feel like the reductio ad abusurdum of your argument then is “Never encourage (maybe even discourage) anything that helps someone unless that thing is moral reasoning.”

But that’s actually not my view. First, I wasn’t discussing about “helping someone”, but eliminating a moral catastrophe, particularly FFFF. Also, I didn’t claim that non-moral motivations are always not helpful, I was particularly discussing the scenario where 100% of FFFF is eliminated by non-moral reasons.
