This wouldn't even be perfection. Perfection would be if there were no sentient beings to experience suffering at all.

Surely this also requires the elimination of the human race. Don't let your AI paperclip maximizer hear you say such things.

Vegans disagree. We live. We thrive. We have fun. And we do not inflict suffering on individuals of other species as far as reasonably possible (thus allowing for pest control and some animal testing of essential drugs).

That sounds quite aways away from "perfection" as stated by the other commentator as being "Perfection would be if there were no sentient beings to experience suffering at all."

(In case its not clear, i think this thread is silly)
