FYI we slaughter more than a trillion animals per year for food, I'm all for reducing animal suffering but we have many many many things to focus on before lab mice
- ljsprague 2y agoI guess over a hundred per person per year is plausible. Seems high though.
- lm28469 2y agoFish makes the bulk of it, for land animal it's 100b+
- j_bum 2y agoI am unfortunately aware, as I work in the biomedical research field. We can still focus on reducing needless animal death concurrently to other issues.
