55 Billion animals are killed for human consumption each year. That is 8 times the entire global human population are killed for human consumption each and every year.

That is not even counting the several billion fish that are killed each year.

Which translates to more than 155 million beings killed every day for meat consumption.

Since the 1990s approximately 90% of Amazonian deforestation has been due to clearing land for grazing cattle or growing feed for livestock.

Livestock production accounts for 70% of all agricultural land and 30% of the ice-free land surface on the planet.

90% of all large fish have already disappeared from the oceans, largely as a result of overfishing.

One-third to about half the global fish catch is fed to livestock (pigs and chickens).

One animal factory farm produces more waste and pollution than the whole city of Houston, Texas, USA.

In 1996, the US cattle, pork, and poultry industries produced 1.4 billion tons of animal waste, or 130 times more than produced by the entire human population.

Currently, 80% of hungry children live in countries that export food crops typically to feed farmed animals.

Two-thirds of US grain exports feed livestock rather than people.

Producing 1 kilogram of beef requires 7 kilograms of grain for feed that could go to direct human consumption,

About 40% of the global grain supply is going to livestock,and 85% of the world’s protein-rich soy is being fed to cattle and other animals.

A person uses up to 15,000 liters of water per day for a meat-based diet.

COST OF ONE HAMBURGER
• 5 sq. meters (55 sq. feet) of destroyed tropical rainforest.
• 23,000 liters (6,000 gallons) of clean water (14 months of daily showers).
• 1.8 kilograms (4 pounds) of grain consumed by the cow (about 3 loaves of bread).

If everyone ate a plant-based diet, there would be enough food to satisfy 10 billion people.

    for sure being on a vegetarian diet, its far more efficient for the Earth, that being on a meat diet... (i wont talk about animal abuse, or if u get more healthy as a person on a vegetarian diet, because it's subjective point of view)..
