Your second sentence doesn't follow from the first. Just because there is an enormous amount of suffering in the world doesn't mean that you can't alleviate a meaningful amount. The only way this is true is if by "meaningful" you mean as a proportion of the total amount of suffering, which doesn't really make sense - the fact that others are suffering doesn't make a good act any less good.
That's only the case if you care about individual animals, as opposed to animal suffering in general.
