Somehow 60 million bison wandered the prairie for millenia without the world ending... shall we kill all of the wild ungulats? Cap the volcanoes? At what point should humans just commit mass self sacrifice in the interest of saving the earth?
- JayMickey 6y ago60 million is a drop on the bucket compared to how many cows humans raise for the purpose of food. This is a dumb take.
