>It probably will appall people in the future that we killed animals just to eat.

That's extrapolating from the future distancing from nature and sterilization and abstraction imposed over life.

It's also possible that people in the future will get their meat if and when they find it, and fight like crazy to secure it, under more dystopian conditions. If they're not lucky, there will always be ground worms and bugs, seaweeds, and Soylent Green.

Or the population has stabilized quite lower, after climate change impact, famines, wars, water conflicts, etc., and the rest can grow and eat their meat in a more sustainable way...

Yes. I wrote 'probably' but there are too many unknowns to have much certainty about anything a century from now. For all I know, we'll start lobbing nukes around until the planet is a wasteland.
