I think it’s sort of bizarre to suggest that out of 25,000 vegetarians, one is responsible for the shed being closed, and the others did nothing at all. Why privilege the “last” decision to not purchase a chicken? It makes more sense to me that you’d allocate the “credit” equally to everyone who chose not to eat meat.
The first 24,999 needed to not buy a chicken in order for the last one to be in a position for their choice to make a difference.
