How Many Bird Species Have Gone Extinct Because Of Cats
Pets can quickly replace animals when trained to behave like their previous counterparts.
Many people bring home abandoned or injured wild animals and train them to act friendly.
They then feed them with their own food and care until they are fully healthy.
This makes it easy to create more animals to replace natural ones.
People then use these artificially created 'animals' for their own purposes- such as food or entertainment.
MANY PEOPLE KEEP PETS AS COMPANIONS.
The main purpose of having pets is for companionship; however, keeping pets has benefits for the environment.
Pets can help reduce pest control and help control the number of unwanted animals in the world.
They also consume less food and provide less waste than the same number of natural animals.
Therefore, keeping pets as a replacement for natural animal populations reduces the number of natural species on the planet.
Animals naturally compete with humans for resources, such as food and shelter.
Humans have changed the world with their inventions; now they want to do the same on the domestic front.
People's pets have replaced their previous animals when it comes to eating and consuming resources.
They can quickly become overpopulated and cause harm to the ecosystem.
This is because they consume more food, water, and energy than they produce.
Pets also spread diseases that affect both humans and wild animals.
Overpopulation leads to more negative effects on wildlife than all the other factors mentioned here put together.
It leads to more waste, destruction of natural habitats, and more dangerous diseases spreading among animals and humans alike.
It also makes it easier for unnatural species to replace natural ones in greater numbers.
All of these things happen because humans are willing to replace natural animal populations with artificial ones.
