I agree we should aim to decrease our consumption of animal products. Honestly its a great way to save money, and eat healthier. Decreased consumption has a lot of benefits even if you you don't care about the environmental impacts.

Unless you include flaring from oil extraction, which almost doubles fossil fuel emissions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routine_flaring

Edit: There is a relationship between the two as well, animals need to be transported multiple time for slaughter/processing/packaging. Energy has to be spent to maintain safe temperatures throughout for proper cold-chain handling.

The largest source of methane emissions is not agriculture, its the fossil fuel industry.
