"Only 4% of mammals alive today are wild animals" 12:16 - Aug 3 with 1000 viewsKeno

just heard that on a Chris Packham BBC programme "Earth"

Humans, pets and domesticated livestock make up 96% of all mammals

thats a weirdly odd and somewhat scary stat if true

Wild? Those 4% are positively furious.

Domesticated live stock are not exactly happy either.

I think, but I am not 100% on this, that the phrase isn’t from pigs.

It's a slightly misleading statistic based on biomass (or weight), and thus favours heavier animals like humans and livestock.

According to this measure 34% of mammals are humans and 62% are livestock, leaving the 4% to include elephants and, say, the estimated 7 billion rats and 20 billion mice.

You may say wise, others may say fat shaming.

I'm not sure about that, but I think the original statistics were designed to indicate the climate impact of man and livestock.
