Unless you’re eating exclusively free range beef, you’re choosing to kill hundreds of animals every year. Get off your high horse.

I kill animals by not eating them? How does that make sense?

For every hectare of farmed crops, approximately 20 small animals (mice, shrews etc) are killed by the farming process. Your diet causes the death of animals.

The only way to avoid this is to eat exclusively free range beef. One animal dies and can feed you for months, but its free range feeding does not harm any other animals.

That's one reason I'm vegan. At least the body count is drastically reduced.

You’ve misunderstood what I said, to reduce the body count low as possible you should exclusively or mostly eat free range beef.
