An updated version of the ADAPTT Animal Kill Counter.

"Using the same method of estimating fish numbers from reported aquaculture production tonnages, it is estimated that between 38 and 128 billion farmed fish were killed for food globally in 2011."

"In this study it is estimated that between 0.97 and 2.7 trillion* fish (ie 970,000,000,000 to 2,700,000,000,000) were caught from the wild globally each year for 1999-2007."

In total, approximately 69,429,244,409 (69.4 billion) land animals were killed for meat in 2013.
