Slaughter vs Crop Casualties

Animals eat 5–12Γ— more crops per calorie than direct human food. This intensive feed cultivation multiplies combine harvester field deaths (rodents, nesting birds) alongside direct slaughter.

Enteric Methane & Carbon

Ruminant enteric fermentation (burps) releases potent methane (CHβ‚„), with 28Γ— the warming power of COβ‚‚. Plant-based diets reduce dietary greenhouse gas emissions by up to 73%.
