You seem very confused as to what you want. As long as humans are in existence animal will suffer. Even with out us they will suffer, that's nature.
Now...Humans have been constantly evolving. Due to this we are destroying the planet, and causing animals to "suffer". Here are things you should avoid to prevent the animals from further suffering, since you are so crazy about everything being wrong.(You must stop being a hypocrite)
1.paper and wood- all those trees where once homes to animals
2. food from any farm, plants included- all the field is the home for animals they could get hurt by equipment and are loosening their food source.
3.clothing- even harvesting cotton is harmful to animals
4.Cars- never know when you could run over a squirrel or hit a cat.
5. electricity- power plants ruins the planet
6. vets- all the pain they cause to save an animal
7. Doctors- the testing that got you medicine
8. pets- we should not own them according to you. Can't fix them because that causes pain, so I guess they will just keep breeding and being in more pain. But hey, as long as they are in more pain and free, then less pain and sheltered.
I'm sure there are many more, but I think you'll get the idea.
I can't take you seriously if you are not fallowing your own guidelines
Firstly, I dont not solely value reducing animal suffering, I also value human suffering.
Secondly, as power plants are destroying the planet, surely that means they will harms humans as well. Does that mean you want to get rid of them? No, electricity is essential to our lives and our population could not be supported without it. Should we get rid of cars because they kill children? No, but we should ensure that safety measures in place.
The same could be said of all the things you mention, getting rid of them would all cause significant suffering to humans. We should however try to ensure our usage of these things causes as little impact as possible.
Meat eating goes directly against this principle, it is merely cruel.
You can not end suffering! You mind as well just wait for the sun to exploded if you really want all the suffering to end.
