Except dinosaurs weren't taken out and some species like chickens probably have more biomass than ever.
I think that's the more horrific scenario anyway - we cause a massive catastrophe but like the end of a slasher franchise, we're still around to do it all over again.

The bird count is over 11k now! I think something like 11300ish. Let me look it up.
OK it’s 11250!

All wild mammals combined are about 1/10th the biomass of humans.
