Exactly. Whereas, the opposite can be true: Vegetarians who love both animals and plants might choose to quit eating meat, because that will actually save plants too, since more plants are killed by feeding the animals. It's more efficient to just eat the plants directly, then to feed a lot of plants to the animals, then eat the animals too.
I think the reason most people choose to eat meat is simple: They like it. (Aside from those rare medical exceptions.)
