Humans plus agricultural animals are 96% of all the mammalian biomass.
In light of these numbers I don't understand the environmental rationalization based on the diets of predators.
- throwaway4aday 4y agoYou do realize that mammals are the smallest class by biomass right? Well, other than Cnidaria but who counts them anyways.
- fsloth 4y agoOf course! But I felt the argument was mostly about mammals (how it's different to talk about predators meat and mans meat eating habits). Pointing out the scale of biomass is of course relevant to this discussion - there is so much of it, it's quite uninnovative humans should fixate on only few species.
