3.5 billion birds are killed in North America per year? I didn't know anywhere near that number even existed.

Wikipedia says there are about 7.5 million square miles in the US and Canada, so that's over 400 birds killed per square mile, per year, on average.

That's amazing, no?

There are more than 8 billion chickens slaughtered every year in the US alone, to give some perspective.
