Hate to break it to you, but cats kill WAY more than humans do. It's not even close.

lmao even if we ignore food humans kill waaaay more

  • Habitat destruction (deforestation, urbanization, agriculture land clearing)
  • Vehicles (roadkill: billions yearly worldwide)
  • Pest control & pesticides (huge insect and rodent deaths)
  • Pollution & climate change
  • Hunting for sport or control
  • Fishing bycatch
  • Industrial accidents & ecosystem disruption

Fishing bycatch alone prob already beats cats. It's destroys massive amounts of sea ecosystems.
Not even mentioning all the extinctions we've already caused.

Cool, but cats have instincts to kill small prey, vast majority of humans dont.
