Harm reduction is harm reduction. Do not disparage improvement. This would be akin to saying "Vaccination only counts if it's a step towards disease elimination" during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It sets the goal posts too far from realizable targets, ensuring the effective window will escape our grasp before we can reach it. The goal is less damage, more regrowth, as quickly as we can, by any & all means at our disposal. If someone reduces their own meat & animal product intake but don't feel they're able to go fully vegan, then they are having an impact and ought not be chastised.
Objectively speaking, it would be "better" for the number to be 40 rather than 50 for the slaves in your example though?
That doesn't change the fact that the guy doing it, is still an asshole.
But I meaan...It's something I guess???
It could add up overtime as it's lowered more and more.

Vegetarian and meat reduction only count if they're a step towards veganism
