Livestock outnumbers humans 3x. Humans outnumber other wild mammals 8x (hurr durr live off the land when SHTF). (by biomass).

Marine biomass is down 80% in the last 100 years.

Cattle biomass is twice of humans. Pig and sheep together have a biomass larger than humans.

Per This chart, humans are 8th out of 11th for biomass.

But you're combining species. A pig is not a sheep is not a cow.

In terms of individual species we are the most populous large animals. Is that not true?
