My point is that the lifetime of a pig (EDIT: being farmed for meat) isn't very long (about 6 months from what I can find on the internet). Thus all we would have to do is stop breeding them for a while and we very quickly wouldn't have many pigs.

That's totally true, but it feels a bit tangential to what I was saying.
