By now we have more dog & cat biomass than wild mammalian biomass on land? The data below is from 2014. Since 2015 we have added 800 million more humans who eat 10% more meat aka wildlife habitat.
This is unique in Earth's history. Never has biomassed collapsed so fast before species loss.

Your occasional reminder, if you’re in the UK, that it is shaping up to be a hideous bird flu season, with many wildlife casualties (including resident birds, not just winter migrants), and, however soft your heart, it is a Really Bad Idea to handle sick or ‘injured’ birds or bring them inside.
