In addition to the animals killed in animal testing, farmed animals are abused and killed in numbers so staggering as to be almost incomprehensible:
- Globally, the annual death toll for these farmed land animals exceeds 70 billion. That’s nearly 191 million every day, or nearly 8 million every hour, 133,000 every minute, or about 2,220 every second.
- The number of aquatic animals killed annually for food is in the trillions.
- Around 9 billion farmed land animals are killed each year in the U.S. alone (about one million every hour; nearly 17 thousand every minute; around 278 every second).
