I tried going Vegan. Lasted 3 months. Wasn't terribly hard. Drove past a seafood restaurant one night, caught a wiff of some shrimp, U-turned it and said "screw vegan". I would never let how major corporations deal with animals influence my stance on eating them or not. I may avoid the corporations and business in question, but I would not give up eating meat or animal byproducts because of that.
