The scale of it is astounding. From OP's link, 94% of non-human mammal biomass is livestock, and 71% of bird biomass is poultry livestock.

Woooow, so we have multiplied the mammal population on earth by ten respect the "natural" population.

In other words, we have enslaved 90% of other mammals 😔

The most sad is to see the STUPID smile of friends and neighbours when i comment this kind of facts in social meets, and they only answer stupid things like: it's so delicious animal meat.

I feel that this kind of people would be able to eat me if we would live on a parallel dystopian society 🤔

We've also eliminated a lot of habitat so we can live there, and hunted several species into, or near, extinction on land and in the sea. So, all of that is biomass that would "naturally" exist without our interference. So, no, we haven't multiplied the biomass by 10x what it would "naturally" be.
