I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.
edit: This is Seaworld San Diego, California

Sorry, I thought it fit the theme quite clearly as it shows how a car centric infrastructure hurts us all, including animals. That huge parking lot could have been housing, or a park, or perhaps a big ass tub for them to swim in. (ps: I'm not saying they should be locked up in the first place, as the sea is right over there where they could roam freely though)
yea it makes sense. I think it fits and goes beyond
Motorism might be one of the worst things we do to ourselves, but it's far from the worst thing we do to others. This feels like pointing out how many parking spaces it takes to operate a concentration camp. Like, yeah, but is that really the issue here??
You really only need to say cars, the same issue doesn't apply to motorcycles, ebikes, buses, or trains.
