00:0096% of all animal biomass, which is the weight of all animals, comes from just a few species that
00:09we have domesticated.
00:108 or 10 species. And the remaining millions of species contribute just 4% of the mass.
00:16Because we care only for those species that are around us. And those species have proliferated.
00:21Dogs, cats, chicken, buffaloes, cows, sheep, pigs.
00:25These species have become so numerous, so numerous, that they have encroached upon the rights of the entire animal kingdom.
00:33Food is being grown to feed these species. And food is being grown by hacking down jungles where the other
00:40species live.
00:41We have artificially bloated their population to an extent that they are now 96% of the animal kingdom by
00:49mass.
00:49And we care only for these few species. If you go to a vet and you say, I want to
00:55bring a zebra to you, he will not know what to do with it.
00:58Because even our veterinary sciences have taken care of only the animals that are of use to us.
01:04What kind of selective, species-specific love is this?
