It is interesting to ask the question of how dominating humans are as a species if measured by our mass, compared the mass of all other mammals. Whilst humans alone weight less much than the animal slaves that we keep, and eat, when you combine humans and our livestock together the result is pretty horrendous. It turns out that humans and our livestock have blown out to 96% of the entire mammal mass on the planet. All the mammal wildlife combined together now only makes up a tiny 4% of all mammals (by mass).

It is only one way we are saturating the planet - or to put more accurate, have already saturatED - and in this case to the detriment of an enormous displaced former population of animals.
