Slowing down the extinction rate of non human species isn't a bad thing.
It will give evolution more options once Homo sapiens becomes extinct.

Even if every human being on the planet went vegan.
We still wouldn't significantly slow extinction rates. Extinction rates are rising due to increasing population. Palm cultivation/palm oil production being a prime example.
I'm vegan because I care about animal welfare. I don't kid myself into believing it's saving the planet.

On its own, no.
But short term, if every human primate on the planet went vegan there will be no demand for wildlife products such as pangolin scales, rhino horns and shark fins.
Unfortunately this sensible solution to human overpopulation is not too popular, even among environmentalists:

No kids to shovel money into?
Living off my own timetable?
Privacy?
Loads of disposable income?
Yeah. Furious.

Kids are great, are also glorified slaves
and when I'm old dribbling, pissing and shitting myself in a rotten armchair all day, I'm sure they'll ignore me then as well

All things being well, by that age we'll be able to afford slaves to wash and feed us
or robots. Or roboslaves.
