As a (not)friendly reminder, everyday, for our only pleasure, we are killing :
- 900 000 cows;
- 1.4 million goats;
- 1.7 million sheep;
- 3.8 million pigs;
- 12 million ducks;
- 202 million chickens;
- hundreds of millions of fish.
Sheep are killed at 6 months, when they can live for 20 years, cows 8-10 months, over 25 years, pigs 5 months, over 20 years, chickens 5 WEEKS, over 8-10 years.
If we compare this with human life, we are eating babies between 6 and 24 months old!
And yes, vegetarians, we see you too. Dairy cows are killed after 4-5 years, laying hens after 1.5 years, that's 12-18 years for humans.
