The problem is that populations still continue to grow and the number of vegetarians/vegans is neglible to overall growth.

any excuse you make doesn’t change whether more animals were killed this year than last, regardless of how many vegans there are.

I don’t think I agree with this, as less people buy meat the demand for it falls. As the demand falls less is produced. Kind of a simple take I guess but I don’t think your comment makes sense.

Is there an angle to this that I’ve missed?

as far as i can tell, that’s never happened. so, in practice, being vegan has never caused a reduction in suffering.
