It will certainly be a domesticated species. Probably cattle.

Globally, why cattle?

Cattle have a huge impact on the local ecosystems where they graze. But globally, domesticated animals like cattle and pigs contribute more greenhouse gases than do automobiles. It was in the New York Times, so it must be true.

These animals wouldn't be doing what they're doing without human intervention. I consider this to be a downstream effect of humans on the ecosystem and not an affect of that species by itself.
What about a species that benefits from human urbanization, like the pigeon?
All that pigeon [censored] has to affect something.
Edit: Grammar!
