This is just stupid Nadine. There were the millions of animals we've driven to near extinction. The buffalo used to be a black carpet to the horizon on the prairies, mowing the grass

The density of wild animals, like the density of humans in hunter gatherer groups, doesn't begin to approach the density of livestock on farms or humans living in cities. There's an order of magnitude difference.

Buffalo herds may have been huge, but they didn't stay in one place. There weren't millions of herds all over North America. Do you know how many cows are in North America now?
