It's actually an excellent question.
It's estimated in the 1500s that between 30 and 60 million buffalo lived on the Great Plains.
There are about 30 million cows in the US today.
So no, it's a great point. As well as all the other animals that yes have been replaced by domesticated ones and human populations.
It's not the animals that are at issue, but obviously our very high living standard as humans, which consumes a great deal of energy. We can solve it, but we'll have to go back to living in huts.
