These would be way smaller if you included all life: plants, fish, birds, insects, fungi, microorganisms. Mammals are a surprisingly small portion of global life. Fish alone are 7x Livestock and humans by mass.

This is so frustrating... This is "only" the biomass. Cattle have to eat and πŸ’©. This affects the wildlife too.

Need a great war to kill these too many biomas. Yes?

We have left no room on Earth for terrestrial mammals, but for those we eat or have as pets…
