Domestic dogs, many crops, and feral-descended populations (like wild pigs and pigeons) also benefit



Raccoons are doing well, as are crows.


Strange list. Other domestic animals (cats, pigs, chickens...) benefit the same way domestic dogs do. That's the whole point of being domesticated.


It certainly would be a strange list if it were exhaustive. It was just a random list of examples to make the point that anything humans perceive as beneficial are reproducing at massive rates.

Food animals (like cows) are perhaps not fitting anyone's definition of "doing well", but they're certainly reaching record-high population counts.
