How many chickens killed in world each day for food?
Answer:
23-27 million for U.S. purposes alone
29 million for U.K. purposes alone
plus upwards of 1 billion male chicks are tossed in dumpsters alive (and starve or thirst to death in hours) every year because male offspring of "egg-laying" hens are not considered worthy of life (aka they are not worth feeding for 14 weeks in cramped and inhumane conditions before being slaughtered).
