My first motivation for not eating meat and animal products in general is of respect and love towards animals. I wanted to stop being an active part of the gigantic machine of animal slavery and suffering. There are environmental benefits, there are health benefits too, but I consider those as byproducts. I don't think any petition will put farmers out of business, even though I would be happy to subsidize their future unemployment (current EU subsidies to the meat and dairy industry will suffice for many generations, I think).
In my experience, laws and regulations are surprisingly effective at convincing people to abandon their habits.

End the slaughter age — EU citizens: there is time until 5th June to sign the ECI petition to close animal farms and slaughterhouses.
