In fact, every year about 9 billion broilers are raised in the USA, which is part of a global total of 65,847,411,000. Almost all of these birds are intended for consumption, except for those that do not survive to slaughter. On average, about 25 million chickens die daily in the USA. Meat suppliers report weights that vary depending on the condition of the birds and the weight of the carcass after processing.
Meanwhile, statistics show that over 150 million land animals are killed worldwide every day solely for food, resulting in the death of 56 billion such animals annually. If we add fish, both wild and farmed, the total number of animals killed daily reaches around 3 billion.
In the USA, approximately 9 billion chicks are hatched each year with the aim of growing to the required size and being slaughtered for human consumption. Meat consumption is directly linked to animal suffering, but it also has unintended consequences.
On commercial fish farms, between 37 and 120 billion fish die each year, and an additional 2.7 trillion fish are caught and die in the wild. On such farms, fish are almost unprotected.
