I agree this merits further serious and careful analysis. But even if we were to believe Tomasik’s claims at face value (that the wild animals that would use the space and resources generated by less animal farming have substantial moral weight and would be suffering in net, etc.)
… he still says:
pork, chicken, eggs, farmed fish: I would avoid because these foods cause significant farm-animal suffering and have unclear net impact on wild-animal suffering.
And these are the majority of the farmed animals people eat worldwide, both by weight and by numbers[1]

OK, maybe this excludes farmed insects, which he also advises against.
