It doesn’t help that we chose the meatiest animals to keep as livestock and then made sure they got even fatter than they started by any means necessary. One factory farmed cow probably weighs like 12 wild deer and a few wild rabbits for good measure.
How isn’t it relevant? Large animals like whales make up a disproportionate amount of ‘wild animal’ biomass. But rats, mice etc will make up a sizeable proportion too while being human centric pests in much of the world.
And that’s only because whales and elephants are so massive.

yes exactly
Presumably subway rats and other vermin count as wild?
and how is that relevant to what I said?

4% is actually worse than it looks.
