3% of the land animals on the planet are wild - 97% humans and their livestock and pets

Planet Human

You obviously have no idea how many rodents there are.

It's actually considered 60% gone now... the majority of which, I am under the impression from the limited research I have done, are from the oceans, which are dangerously close to being empty (compared to 50 years ago)- I do not doubt the majority of land animals are in fact domesticated at this point... 3% wild seems a little low though-

I'm amusing you are merely using the numbers in your title as a rhetorical device since you did not include a link?

OP has an agenda. No facts. Complete supposition.

FAKE NEWS!

I walk in the woods quite a bit up here in the NW... hardly ever see wildlife. Birds.. there are still many birds. Mule deer on occasion (usually dead). More bugs than ever & rodents. Probably due to Government made global warming and gov sponsorship of Monsanto seed. The trees look all shriveled up even though it was a late winter with more than enough water.
If many people became homeless and tried to make it off the land, they probably don't have the physical stamina it would take to find enough game to live. They'd have to become nomads. And eat rats & bugs.

Shill opposed to life on the planet.
Probably surrounded by plastic all day long and has never even gone camping.

Subhuman livestock owned by dark cabal.

Bullshit. You have no clue!

Not sure what that guy is smoking. Insects alone OUTWEIGH (not just outnumber) all other biomass on the planet. Article man is uninformed.

That sounds like total fucking bullshit.

It's a bad quote, it should be land mammals, not animals.
