There are at least million wild animals killed in a year
According to the Humane Society of the United States approximately four to five million animals (cats and dogs) are euthanized each year. It is estimated that 61% of dogs and 75% of cats that enter a shelter are euthanized. On a related note, USA Today predicts that the US spends about two billion dollars each year to impound, shelter, euthanize, and dispose of homeless animals.

No one knows exactly how many stray or abandoned animals there are in the United States, but estimates range higher than 12 to 15 million. We do know that every year between 6 and 8 million animals enter local shelters, 4 million of which will be euthanized and never find a home.

From 25-30, according to: http://www.news-journal.com/news/content/news/stories/02262006Animal_shelter.html
It is estimated that there are between 1.5 to 2 million dogs euthanized every year. This would translate to 0.06 dogs euthanized each second.

The Humane Society of the United States estimates about 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized by shelters every year. The statistic is limited by the number of shelters that give such information. A disproportionate number of those 3-4 million are cats. Dividing 3-4 million by 365 (days in a year), and you get 8,200-11,000 dogs/cats per day. This is why people need to understand the importance of having their pets spayed or neutered.
It is estimated that millions of animals are euthanized in shelters each year, with the exact number varying depending on factors such as location and shelter policies. Efforts are being made to reduce euthanasia rates through increased adoption, spaying/neutering, and education.
The primary consideration is health of the animal - an animal with severe injuries or disease is more likely to be euthanized for humane reasons. Probably the second most used factor is age - younger animals are more adoptable, so older animals tend to be euthanized faster. Other factors include the reason the animal was given to the shelter - fighting animals, aggressive animals and behavior problem animals are more likely to be euthanized because they aren't safe to adopt out, while animals that were given up because the owner couldn't take the pet with him/her to a new house are much easier to get adopted out. There may also be local ordinances that require certain breeds (usually pit bulls, German shepherds, Doberman pinchers, etc.) to be euthanized rather than adopted, or the facility may have a policy of euthanizing after so many days in the shelter.
