How many animals are murdered at animal shelters in one day in the US?

On a daily basis, millions of chickens and turkeys (there are dozens of poultry plants that harvest 500,000 birds every day, plus hundreds more smaller plants), hundreds of thousands of hogs (again, dozens of plants that harvest 20,000 hogs a day) and several hundred thousand cattle (dozens of plants that harvest up to 10,000 cows a day). Exact data can be requested from USDA's Agricultural Statistics Service, which also describes the various types of diseases recorded at slaughter.

Answer 2

World wide, an estimated 140 BILLION animals are killed for food every year. This includes marine animals (about 50 billion). So about 383 million animals every day (including marine animals), or 246 million land animals slaughtered every day for food.

Answer 3

About One Million animals are slaughtered per hour for people to eat. Approximately 20,000 per minute. This is not considering the million a day hit by cars in North America.

Answer 4

4.4 animals are abused every day in the United states. 1611 cases were reported in 2008.
