Do you eat beef regularly? If so, then you would stop, and if you've already stopped you were precluded from this question so really shouldn't have answered.
I do currently, but I was vegetarian for over a decade and vegan for part of that. I never buy beef and only eat it because I work in a restaurant and eat for free.
But the intelligence isn't really at issue, the ecological impact is why I don't buy beef. That and the taste: it's a C-grade meat at best, way below pork and most poultry, especially given the higher price point.
