Here are the facts: 1  More than 100 million animals are reported killed by hunters each year.  The vast majority of species that are hunted -- waterfowl, upland birds, mourning doves, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, crows, coyotes, etc. -- provide minimal sustenance and do not require population control.
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 â¦ marine animals), or 246 million land animals slaughtered every day for food.58 births/minute is 515,520 births/day. The average of these two is 340 births/minute or 489,600 births/day.Note: There are comments associated with this question.
