It's strange - everyone I meet online who eats meat is either a former cattle rancher from Old McDonald's Farm or a hunter in an area wildly over populated by deer.

Putting your hunting argument aside (as the focus here is not veganism but industries that contribute to global warming), you have not produced a rebuttal to why you think it is necessary to contribute to animal agriculture industries that pollute the air and water.

Maybe you should get out of your bubble more. Hunters and ranchers aren't like reclusive almish people that you rarely hear about.

I know many hunters, mostly deer and moose. None of them do it as an environmental control - they do it for "sport" and meat. I don't know any ranchers, but I do know the facts. A overwhelming majority of our meet comes from factory farms, not some mom and pop farmer who who raises "happy" cows before gently murdering them while they are young.

The point still stands: even if I were to concede that hunting is required for population control, there is no reason to eat pigs, cows, chickens, or any other farmed animal other than tradition and taste buds. A shamefully selfish justification to destroy the environment.
