00:1796% of all animal biomass, which is the weight of all animals, comes from just a few species
00:26that we have domesticated, 8 or 10 species. And the remaining millions of species contribute just
00:334% of the mass because we care only for those species that are around us. And those species
00:38have proliferated. Dogs, cats, chicken, buffaloes, cows, sheep, pigs. These species have become so
00:45numerous, so numerous that they have encroached upon the rights of the entire animal kingdom.
00:51Food is being grown to feed these species. And food is being grown by hacking down jungles where the
00:58other species live. We have artificially bloated their population to an extent that they are now
01:0596% of the animal kingdom by mass. And we care only for these few species. If you go to

01:25love is this?
