Not even just land animals (although that’s 100% true). Life-for-life, land animals would be exceeded by wild-caught fish (conservatively) in a matter of days if literally the entire world went vegan in a microsecond and literally every farmed land animal on Earth were slaughtered at the same instant. Humans arguably couldn’t even practicably keep up the worldwide mass-slaughter pace just compared to wild-caught animals within this ridiculous anti-vegan fever dream.
Edit: Say there are 30 billion land animals as livestock. Assume on the very low end that 1 trillion wild fishes are caught every year. This would mean you’d be killing 1/33 of the annual wild fish catch in a microsecond and that it’d take you about 12 days to, life-for-life, exceed the instantly killed entire land livestock population from wild-caught fishes alone. As icing on the cake: “We estimate that 124 billion farmed fishes were killed for food in 2019.”, so contract that down to less than 10 days if you count fish overall.
More farm animals are slaughtered every year in current system than would be killed if all currently living farm animals were slaughtered all at once.
