go vegan
You win. The whole world goes vegan overnight. Billions of animals are no longer required for food manufacturing and other processes. Capitalism requires profit. Those animals are now a cost, so they’re all killed overnight.
Billions of animals are dead because of you. You are a monster.
Sweet! Trillions of lives will be saved!

We don't need 1% of the world doing veganism 100% perfect. We need 99% of the world practicing vegetarianism as best as they can.
If everyone gave up meat for one day of the week, that's a 14% reduction. Perhaps you want to erase meat from your breakfast - that's 33%.
Abandoning all animal products outright is something most of us is simply not able to do. But taking steps in this direction is something quite achievable that has a big impact.
