 Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans. 

Only 4% are wild mammals. 

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

 @00b07ccb and all of those chickens destroy the environment. I live in rural southeast US and someone built four giant Tyson chicken houses about 1/2 miles from my house. They are on top of a wetland. The local community tried to get the state, EPA, USACE to stop it but they were like nah it's fine. The factory farm is destroying the water and air quality, and this is happening more and more as the demand for chicken goes up. This stench can be so truly disgusting I'm now a vegan.
