There is nothing you can do. You can’t stop climate change and environmental destruction with your metal straws and reusable bags. You also can’t save animals in a global sense. You can only pick a few and help them. Individual effort means nothing and even NGOs and activists are futile in this struggle.
Yes, those animals that you help shouldn’t reproduce because the whole problem arises from excessive use of resources and one more mouth to feed is one more mouth to suffer starvation. On the other hand, it’s so marginal that it doesn’t make any difference. Environmentalists really need to understand that Karen the vegan won’t make a difference, they need to make poor people from China, India and Africa refuse meat, poor people from Europe and America and middle class BRICS to refuse plastics and fuel, make sure that Nigeria never gets a middle class with cars and electronics, keep the US and Europe from renewing their car fleet even if they switch to electrics (they won’t throw the ones that were already made into the trash), to have a chance of making a difference. And that won’t happen because these people aren’t stupid, it would make their lives worse for what? To make sure that Karen the Vegan and her kids can stay rich in a proper climate while they spend 2 hours per day commuting? No, lol.
Half serious.
