When I saw in a video that 96% of animals are either human or living for human consumption it was the biggest what the fuck moment of my adult life.

96% of mammals by biomass. Still a what the fuck moment, but a noteworthy difference between that and all animals.

96% of mammals, not animals. So it does not count fish, birds, reptiles, insects and etc...

I mean, it's still a shocking number

PS: ops, someone already replied that... sorry
