They're gonna shoot the messenger, but the sweetspot here is domestic dog/cat for $500 a press. A massive amount are euthanized already for population control / sanitation / safety. Install this button at kill shelters for revenue

We already kill millions of pigs and chickens every month, so I'd just continuously press either until my hand got tired or they put the box away. Nice pocket change and a few thousand more dead would be a rounding error.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

I was going to say mosquitos or roaches, but apparently they have benefits to the environment...

If I had control over which ones were killed, then I'd say mice. I know they had a really bad infestation in Australia a few years ago, where millions of mice were destroying crops.

Pig because thats the animal highest on the list I consistently eat. Chicken would also be acceptable and cow isnt on the list. So pig makes the most sense. It wouldnt be a wasted kill. I would consume the animal.

Of the 1k club elephants seem to have the highest population. So maybe 500 there and id just be set for life. Echo the idea of putting autoclickers on the bugs regardless of income though.

It would be rats... but really not worth the effort. Even if I set up a system where every keystroke or game button press would do it, I'd need 300k presses to even get $300.

None. I'd be fine with the bugs, but the values are too low to care. I'm not pressing a button millions of times for a single penny.

If I can pick the specific animal there's a ton of mice, guinea pigs, cats & dogs euthanized every year. I can just target those and save the vets/scientists some trouble.

I could also use the opportunity to wipe out the invasive pigs in Australia that are destroying the ecosystem like crazy.

TC, I think these payouts are a little too generous. You only have to kill a million ants for a penny.

If you press the button once every second for a year, youll make $31.54.
