Okay, now I'm definitely confused: Is English not your native language? Are you very young, perhaps in high school? You don't seem to be reading the claims that you are with such great confidence declaring to be wrong.

FWIW, the phrase "all of those species" in context pretty clearly referred to THIS list of species:

> raccoons, crows, cows, pigeons, rats, mice, dogs, house cats
