In 2011, more than 58 trillion chicken (more precisely, 58,110,000,000), nearly 3 trillion ducks (2,917,000,000), more than 1 trillion pigs (1,383,000,000) were slaughtered worldwide. Other farm animals slaughtered for food numbered in hundreds of millions each: 654,000,000 turkeys, 649,000,000 geese and guinea fowl, 517,000,000 sheep, 430,000,000 goats and 296,000,000 cattle (Meat Atlas: Facts and Figure About Animals We Eat, Heinrich Böll Foundation, January 3, 2014, p. 15).
The great majority of these animals are raised in industrial farms under horrendous condition (see, for example, how chicken, pigs, sheep and cattle are raised in American industrial farms).
