The article seems to say that only 280 of those were larger animals “pigs, sheep, and monkeys”. For a little perspective, Americans ate 21 million chickens yesterday, roughly 7-8 billion per year. I’ve probably personally eaten a substantial percentage of their sheep and pig death count, and there’s not much ground breaking research coming from that, besides an exploration of all the things made better by bacon. Maybe the animals getting eaten have a more pleasant exit, but I wouldn’t be confident in that.
