Not the point.

Definitely the point.

No it's not. The chart says cutting back on meat will save animals.
No. It will either lead to death or non-existence of animals. Neither of which is saving them.

King, I repeat, not being born is salvation for these animals.

That's not what saving means.

You're kinda missing the point, which is marginal change transforming demand, which would reduce the number of animals bred and slaughtered.
You're thinking of a snapshot in time of X number of animals and thinking that's the point.

Yes a reduction in population, you're not saving any animal.
If everyone stopped eating chicken, they're just going to slaughter the existing chickens as a waste of money, get nothing out of them, and then stop breeding chickens.
No chickens are saved, they either die pointlessly, or never exist.
It's not like someone is sending them to a chicken sanctuary everytime you skip a KFC bucket.
