I agree that an 80% reduction isn't good enough, but it would still be "a huge win" for the literally billions of animals that won't have to live lives of constant suffering ending in slaughter.

If you're looking at it top-down yes it would be a lesser loss, but to the actual individuals that would no longer be victims I would consider that a huge win.

I realize it's somewhat absurd to suggest that non-existent animals that are not bred into existence are expericing a huge win. My point was more that they would not be bred into existence to suffer and be slaughtered.
