Slaughterhouse abuse questions....?!
I'm writing a research paper on animal abuse in factory farms!. I need to know:
How many pounds of meat (general, or specific animals) does the average person eat each year!?
How many of each type of animal are killed for food each year!?
Any other statistical facts would be great!.
PLEASE INCLUDE THE WEBSITE YOU GOT IT FROM!

Each U!.S!. citizen consumes an average of 260 lbs!. of meat per year, the world's highest rate!.
That is about 1!.5 times the industrial world average, three times the East Asian average, and 40 times the average in Bangladesh!."
